could you replace the bittorrent package (removed) by a copy of this
annoucement? just to make sure any people is informed (including
people not reading this mailing list)

I consider this the wrong approach.

Such information belongs to the list of dropped features/ packages
available from the wiki.

Even a separate section in the release notes of a new version might fit
well.

But keeping entries with pure meta information in the RPM DB would
diminish it to some sort of trashcan.
