FESCo today approved a change to how orphan and deprecated packages are handled in Fedora.

The prior policy was: - Packages that have been orphaned for more than three months require a re-review, regardless of whether or not they have been blocked.

The new policy is: - Any package that is deprecated (i.e., blocked) requires a re-review before it can return to Fedora. Orphaned packages do not require a re-review.

Note that orphaned packages will be deprecated once per release cycle.
