I'd say we give the maintainer a few days to respond, and if
nothing happens by next Monday we just put the code back in.
The maintainer has fixed the issue in Fedora 29+, but they're
understandably not going to backport the change to earlier Fedora
releases:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1629643#c2
So we're going to need the fallback code for ~6 more months.
Would you mind posting a patch that reintroduces it along with a
comment mentioning that we can drop it as soon as Fedora 28 goes
out of support?
