Hi,

I'm the maintainer in Fedora/RHEL for the sharutils package and I raised
this concern to our fedora-devel list [1].

It looks like users still use the `uudecode` and `uuencode` functionality,
and they're asking what is the reason behind this decision.
Paul, can you please share some details about it?
