It seems get_iplayer will become useless before f40 release, I have untagged the f40+ builds.

Upstream auto-closed the issue when it was raised.

Please retire the package for devel (master)

My understanding of that article is that it is about the BBC discontinuing their iPlayer Windows and Mac desktop applications.  Since get_iplayer is not those applications, it does not follow that it will stop working.

Please re-tag the f40 builds.  We can revisit this if it turns out to be a genuine problem.
