While playing around with Sourcegraph, which indexed all Fedora
package repositories, I was able to craft a query listing all '%if'
conditionals referencing Fedora releases that reached EOL.
Do you agree it would be safe to remove such conditionals and the code
they hold ?
Yes, at maintainer discretion.
Do you agree that removing obsolete code such as this brings value
to
the package codebase ?
No - it's annoying code churn that usually serves no purpose. If
maintainers want them gone, generally they'll remove them.
Would you see a value in e.g. some kind of a robot reminding
maintainers of such obsolete code? (e.g. new RPMinspect or ZUUL CI
check)
Please don't.
Be well,
