Hello Neal. Thank you for reply! I will firstly ask to update the main package.
I think it's ideal if Fedora users can always use the latest packages and they
don't use inactive(EOL?) packages naturally.
I don't completely understand the Fedora infra, but I am wondering if a mass
rebuild can skip rebuilding packages that contain version number in their
package name or can file them as FTBFS bugs. If so, the package maintainers
will request rebuild if they really want the packages. I believe this change is
unrealistic but I think this may stop Fedora users using EOL-version package
like php-guzzlehttp-guzlle.
Regrads,
Hirotaka

The preference is to update the main package to the latest version,
and in the event the older one is needed, branch that as a
compatibility package using the compatibility package guidelines.
