Of course not. I'm not arguing that we shouldn't keep _all_ packages.
Sometimes it does make perfect sense to remove some of them.
But I must admit that I'm more in the "let's keep/fix them"
than in the "let's drop them" camp when it comes to orphaned packages.
Removals should be the absolutely last measure and used very carefully
and seldom, IMHO.
Cheers, Uwe.
