The VelocityServlet is used as a base for many servlets in the code, but it has been deprecated:
http://velocity.apache.org/engine/releases/velocity-1.7/apidocs/org/apache/velocity/servlet/VelocityServlet.html
It's supposed to be replaced by VelocityViewServlet from Velocity-Tools but the this package seems to be only available via JPackage.

As of version 10.3, PKI is still relying heavily on Velocity library as the template engine for legacy servlets including CA & KRA UI. Generally newer web applications are written with JavaScript framework and REST API (e.g. TPS UI).
The Velocity project itself has not been updated since 2010: http://velocity.apache.org/news.html
Also there seems to be no Velocity package on F25: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=529
PKI on F25 can still work with Velocity package from F24, but it's not clear how much longer it will continue to work. Some investigation should be done to see if it's possible to remove the dependency on Velocity without major change.
