There are Fedora users out there that expect tclreadline. And no, not every
Fedora users wants to get a contributor. That may has to do with new target
audience of Fedora...
In case Fedora updates to a API incompatible version (I think, you meant API
rather ABI), I'll try to solve things, otherwise the package gets orphaned.
The package is intended to be pushed to EPEL branches.
The tcl in Fedora was from time to time threaded by accident, more or less
each time the maintainer on Red Hat side switched and the new one wanted to
give a try to the threaded tcl.
I'm not going to create a new upstream, even it's "in" at Fedora nowadys
to
fork any software. From my point of view, the prompt2.patch changes API, but
it only adds something new & optional. Thus backward compatibility is given.
