Description Debarshi Ray 2017-04-05 15:45:23 UTC

MXit is a South African instant messaging service [1], which seems to have
been closed in September last year. Let's disable support to reduce the total code surface exposed to security attacks.

This is meant for RHEL 7.5, but I am filing it against 7.4 since that's the latest version in bugzilla right now.
