Control: tags -1 confirmed wontfix

Hi Bastian,

While I agree with dropping obsolete libraries and old interpreters
from the archive after some time, I'm sorry, but I can't downgrade
Wireshark to Lua 5.1 because that would break users' Lua scripts.
That's a problem for RHEL already:

Please keep Lua 5.1 in the archive until Wireshark upstream moves to a
later version.
It is under discussion for years, but eventually will happen, I think.
See:
https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/202205/msg00022.html
and:

Thanks,
Balint
