The havege functions in the polarssl package are currently disabled in the Fedora package. Newer releases of dolphin-emu, which are in a popular external repository, require these functions.

According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1069394#c1, the HAVEGE feature is disabled because it's "controversial" and "would lead to security problems", but the maintainer hasn't given any more explanation than that in the bug report.

Is there any way we can get a second opinion on this? The external repository follows Fedora's guidelines to the best of their ability, and this includes the prohibition on bundling, so we'd really like to get this fixed.
