The decision follows a year-long security review triggered by similar concerns that led SUSE/openSUSE to remove Deepin packages a year earlier.

The retirement also includes a directive to prevent re-addition of these packages unless they pass a full review again. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
