You can not remove any package without a drop-in replacement in a released
version of Fedora, because it would break user installations.

I.e. you can only retire packages from rawhide.


Sorry, yes, I had misread "within a Fedora release" as "within a single
Fedora release cycle", i.e., the soonest we could drop a library would be
Fedora n+2.
