But, if you can't find 3 people out of 900 (so 1 out of 300) who see interest in a package, then that package is most probably very rarely used. Other thing: there might be a need for a new Priority (or re-arrange the current ones). I mean, something like 'Priority: zero' or something like that, so they won't even go to the official set of the CDs, etc. > I agree with you that the many orphaned packages are a problem, but that > won't be solved by your proposal. Sure, but it might stop the growing of that list. Regards, -- Lenart, Janos <ocsi@debian.org>
