This is a tracking bug for Change: Changes/DeprecatePython-dateutil For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DeprecatePython-dateutil Python-dateutil is an extension to the standard Python datetime features, widely used by a lot of other projects. However, upstream is unmaintained and possibly with unaddressed security issues. The plan is to try to continue packaging until feasible, but mark the package as deprecated in Fedora and try to convince other dependent project to switch over from it. If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.
Why do you claim it is unmaintained? https://github.com/dateutil/dateutil/commits/master/ shows, latest commit is from 2026-03-02 and documentation does not state "unmaintained" but names a maintainer.
