One of them ate the email that troy sent a while ago and held it versus accepting it. I have kicked the server and hopefully it gets sent now. That said we need to fix the communication and update it for better dates. We thought of rebuilding all of the existing modules with an updated deprecated somewhere in the data, but since many of them are just branched for each release it looked like we would instead say the module was deprecated in existing Fedora releases.
