IMHO , that is the way that should work , revert the deletes, if someone ask to and will maintain that , even if we have an approved change request. i.e. if someone want keep something in Fedora should be allowed to him maintain it as long he maintain it (don't give the work to others) . If we look to gtk , Fedora have gtk+ (1), gtk2 , becuase when we propose to orphan that , someone step up and maintain them . > > On Mon, Apr 14, 2025 at 10:22 PM Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski via > devel <devel@lists.fedoraproject.org> wrote: > > On Friday, 11 April 2025 at 10:01, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek > > wrote: > > [...] > > > Yes, that sounds like an accurate description of how things would > > > have gone, > > > had somebody started the process!
