We don't drop it unless upstream deprecates it. There hasn't been a<br class="">
notice of deprecation upstream as of yet, so we still have it. We will<br class="">

Can the OFA do that ?<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

OFA can call it's interest deprecated. But, Arlin Davis is the upstream<br class="">
maintainer, so he can call it deprecated. Then, if someone really<br class="">
cares, they can publicly announce they are going to take it over and<br class="">
keep up maintenance. So, we just need Arlin to make an official<br class="">
announcement on the mailing lists and then give a little time for any<br class="">
prospective new maintainers to speak up. If no one does, then we<br class="">
(meaning Red Hat) will consider it a deprecated library and remove it<br class="">
from our future products.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>
