Does it obsolete pine? I'd prefer if it did, as users otherwise might
assume we or Livna still maintain it.

So we should only import it for F-8?

+1 for solution "1" then -- renaming is not worth the trouble then.

Just a note: At least I don't care about the version numbers on that

- a package is having a maintainer for RPM Fusion
- that packages that are in more than one repo were merged
- that the package names are final

were imported. So I'd say that removing those might be the best.
