Are the frequent emails about these ones that have been in the testing repo for over 2 years, really necessary? Clearly nobody is interested in testing, and the developer isn't interested in pushing to stable. Can't these just be withdrawn from testing? It seems to me that the portions of these emails which refer to testing artifacts older than 6 months are no longer serving their purpose. Clearly, they are being ignored.

 php-pecl-zendopcache-7.0.5-2.el7 (FEDORA-EPEL-2017-d51b801025)
 The Zend OPcache
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Add security mitigation fix backported from PHP 5.6:  * php#69090 check cached
files permissions  This change introduce 2 new configuration options:  *
**opcache.validate_permission** (default 0): leads OPcache to check file
readability on each access to cached file. This directive should be enabled in
shared hosting environment, when few users (PHP-FPM pools) reuse the common
OPcache shared memory.  * **opcache.validate_root** (default 0): prevent name
collisions in chroot'ed environment. This directive prevents file name
collisions in different "chroot" environments. It should be enabled for sites
that may serve requests in different "chroot" environments.
