Description of problem: python-jsonpointer-1.0-4.el7 will be entering base rhel-7.2 so we'd need to get this package retired from epel7. See Bug 1243067
Let's sync the retirement date with rhel-7.2 release date :)
We need to check when is 7.2 going to be available in EPEL7 buildroots.

I did fedpkg retire on epel7 but it failed: Could not retire package: You are not allowed to retire the package: python-jsonpointer on branch epel7. IIRC there was a bug in pkgdb permission check which was fixed, looks like this regressed :(
btw retire procedure is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life
Retired in pkgdb: user: apevec updated package: python-jsonpointer status from: Approved to Retired on branch: epel7 See https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/python-jsonpointer/
