Since it hasn't been able to be installed since RHEL 9.2 came out, I'm not
opposed to doing it ASAP.
Especially since they not only orphaned it, but they retired it back in
January.  And nobody came forward to "unorphan" it back then.

But, since it's not installable, so nobody is going to accidentally install
it, there is no rush either.
Either way is fine by me.
