Tpo's RPM repo has recently become unmaintained.
When Nick asked why torproject's RPMs are superior to the distro packages
no one spoke up [1] same on tor-relays [2].
Ondrej (former tpo rpm repo maintainer) said:
> I'd think that since distro maintainers exist now, it might be better to
use their packages.

relays/2016-June/009524.html
To avoid having outdated relays around it might make sense to:
- remove https://www.torproject.org/docs/rpms.html.en
- announce the deprecation of the RPM repo on the blog (tell people to
switch to the distro packages)
- create a last "update" that uninstalls tpo's RPM package and writes a
log entry pointing to the blog post
