Looks as if there's a lot of fall out from this.
rpm -qi says "GNOME library for CUPS integration", which sounds important.
Does anyone know if this library has been replaced by something else, or if it just needs someone to step up and own the package in Fedora?
It's not important; it was last released in 2008, so it's obsolete for a very long time. Looking through the list of affected packages, I don't see anything that I'm concerned about losing for Fedora Workstation (all the GNOME packages listed there are also obsolete). Except the OCaml stack clearly has a problem. Feel free to pick it up if that's easier than figuring out what's wrong.
There's no deliberate dependency. Maybe ocaml-lablgtk has a binding for it, but we'd just drop that if the library is obsolete.
When I looked through dependencies the only actual app I could find that was still building against a binding in the dep chain was xwords. Everything else is various bindings (python/ruby) so unless anyone particularly cares about printing from xwords I think we should just retire it all.
