Hello,

I propose we retire python-nose from Fedora 43+ immediately after branching.

The package has been deprecated for 5 years:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DeprecateNose

It does not build with Python 3.14:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2323163

We carry downstream-only patches since Python 3.5.

Currently, the following packages need it:

$ repoquery -q --repo=rawhide{,-source} --whatrequires python3-nose --qf '%{name}.%{arch}' ProDy.src bmap-tools.src hgsvn.src nova-agent.src odcs.src openms.src python-agate-dbf.src python-agate-excel.src python-agate-sql.src python-agate.src python-axolotl.src python-behave.src python-binstruct.src python-blessings.src python-colorspacious.src python-curtsies.src python-epc.src python-eyed3.src python-flask-xml-rpc.src python-hglib.src python-ifcfg.src python-leather.src python-migrate.src python-moksha-common.src python-neurosynth.src python-ofxparse.src python-pygeoip.src python-pytest7.src python-pytimeparse.src python-queuelib.src python-rows.src python-sievelib.src python-simplebayes.src python-spec.src python-statsd.src python-stomper.src python-supersmoother.src python-tilestache.src python-xvfbwrapper.src python3-bmaptools.noarch python3-neurosynth.noarch python3-nose-testconfig.noarch python3-spec.noarch vigra.src

The most dependent-upon packages in the list are:

python-behave (affects 7 packages including self) vigra (4)
