 [$] Fedora evicts WolfSSL

The <a href="https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/" rel="nofollow">Fedora
Engineering Steering Committee</a> (FESCo) has voted to
immediately remove the https://www.wolfssl.com
 package from all of Fedora's
repositories due to its maintainer failing to gain approval to package
a new cryptography library for Fedora. Its brief travels through
Fedora's package system highlights gaps in documentation, as well as
in the package‑review process. The good news is that this may stir
Fedora to improve its documentation and revive a formal security
team.
