Well, it creates work for others. E.g. load for the build on the server, space
on the server and the mirrors, one more package to take care of during
mass-rebuilds and more things like that. But whatever, I don't consider those
to be huge problems.

Which doesn't magically remove the package from the users system, which makes
this point a bit questionable imho.

But if there is interest by someone to take care of this package and no real
show-stoppers anyone can point us to then let's just ship it. Only an full
security audit could make clean if mosaic has less or more security issues than
any other (outdated) package that is in Fedora or RPM Fusion.
