I'm no longer able to properly look after these packages, and having not
heard back from any of my co-maintainers over the last week or so, I'm
formally orphaning them in hope that they get picked up by someone who
can do them justice.

The list includes:

	- yosys: HDL compilation, synthesis, and logic optimization
		- recent upstream support for SystemVerilog frontend may
		  need to be packaged as standalone RPM, to be used by
		  yosys as a buildrequires dependency
	- yosyshq-abc (fork of Berkeley ABC logic optimizer and
	  tech-mapping tool, used by yosys as a dependency, but also
	  able to be used as a stand-alone tool)
	- nextpnr: place-and-route tool for Lattice FPGAs
		- upstream has done extensive work on supporting other
		  FPGA models, with various degrees of RPM
		  packageability, and it would be nice to incorporate
		  some of that in the Fedora version
		- **NOTE**: I can't *formally* orphan this package as my
		  co-maintainer is the official owner, but walking
		  away from it nonetheless !!!
	- trellis: Lattice ECP5 FPGA dependency for nextpnr
	- icestorm: Lattice iCE40 FPGA dependency for nextpnr
	- python-migen: a "pythonic" HDL meta-language that elaborates
	  to Verilog before being compiled (e.g., with Yosys)

Best,
