Hi,

As from the pcre-8.45, the upstream stopped supporting this library. The
recommended procedure is to switch onto the new pcre2 library that has full
upstream support. [1]

As a result of this announcement, the older PCRE library in Fedora will be
retired.
Without upstream support, we don't have enough capacity to keep up with the
security and bugs-related issues, and thus we will support only the new
PCRE2 library. [2]
