Yesterday, I have updated my Rawhide and wondered why `dnf

would want to remove earlyoom just to discover that soft dependency in
earlyoom was dropped [1] and hence nothing requires earlyoom and DNF is
free to remove this package (and it is possibly not installed anymore on
upgraded systems).
Therefore I wonder what is the status of EarlyOOM. Should I let the
package go? If not, then the situation should be fixed somehow, probably
either by reverting the revert or adding the dependency into
fedora-release as was proposed elsewhere.
Generally, if you let the package go, your system won't suffer from your
processes getting killed needlessly. This is likely a benefit, so I don't know
if this is really a bug.
