Both packages have been last bumped mid-2018. They depend on pytest-relaxed plugin that has been removed due to breaking pretty much everything. They do not have a dedicated maintainer, and they don't fit python@. No revdeps.

errr, the old (2.3) fabric was removed in portage because of some weird dependancies (pytest-relaxed). But this ticket was, precisely, about having a more recent fabric ebuild. This is not 'obsolete' at all. I could understand "maintainer requested", but just dropping this ticket seems unfair.
oops, was meant for the other ticket (679268)
