The maintainer has fixed the issue in Fedora 29+, but they're
understandably not going to backport the change to earlier Fedora
releases:

So we're going to need the fallback code for ~6 more months.

Would you mind posting a patch that reintroduces it along with a
comment mentioning that we can drop it as soon as Fedora 28 goes
out of support?
