Hi all,

As one of the main maintainers of the Rust stack in Fedora, I propose
that ytop and its non-shared Rust dependencies (as in, only ytop
depends on them) are retired.

ytop has been officially deprecated and unmaintained by upstream for
over a year:
https://github.com/cjbassi/ytop/commit/5d1e2fd
Even the upstream developer recommends to use other programs instead.

Due to the statically linked nature of Rust binaries, old ytop builds
should continue to work, since it links to no shared libraries except
libc, libm, and libgcc_s. But making sure the package also keeps
*building* successfully is no longer worth the effort IMO, because it
involves working around its increasingly outdated dependencies - just
to keep unmaintained software available as an RPM package. So I intend
to retire the following packages from rawhide / f36+ if there is no
opposition to this plan within two weeks:

- rust-ytop
- rust-platform-dirs (only depended on by ytop)
- rust-psutil (only depended on by ytop)
- rust-platforms ((only depended on by psutil)
