Hi,

The MySQL Utilities project is EOL (and may cause issues with other 
packages in the MySQL ecosystem), so you may wish to consider removing 
it from Fedora:

It was moved to  Lifetime Sustaining Support May 30, 2018:
https://www.mysql.com/support/eol-notice.html

Last commit to github was Dec 22, 2016:
https://github.com/mysql/mysql-utilities/commits/master

It has no Python 3 support (so switch from 2 to 3 as default will likely 
cause issues).

It has limited MySQL 8 support, see e.g.
https://github.com/mysql/mysql-utilities/issues/36

It requires MySQL Connector Python 1.x, and will not work with 8.0.x, 
blocking a transition of that package.

We should also follow the EOL of this package in Fedora, starting with F31.

Pavel, please respond so I can be sure you got this message.
