If there are no objections, I'll remove this around the 1st of the
year. [I should note that the archived bugs that are assigned to the
kernel pseudopackage will still exist, but that shouldn't be a huge
problem.]
(Also, the bugs currently assigned to the linux-2.6 binary package
will have to be reassigned to the linux-2.6 source package, but there
are a bunch of bugs that have that problem, and I'll be making an
anouncement about it later.)

are an abundant source of gain.
