Funny enough, I notice that Pan, of all things, is not included in the

Fedora panned it! (pun intended!)
They basically went out of their way to retire it. Do they also consider
Usenet to be dead?
Red Hat is the main company in the Linux community insisting that everything
has to change in order to make Linux "modern." Systemd was from them, and
they also have a hand in Wayland, and usrmerge was their idea. They also have
radical ideas that haven't been forced on the entire Linux community (yet),
such as read-only rootfs, and image-based updates.
They always export their radical ideas to all other distros, and if this
extends to small details like the availability of newsreaders, I'd expect
to see them vanish from Debian and other distros before too long.
