The OP proposed to remove packages that are a) orphaned, and b) have
less than 20 user in popcon. It is these criteria I object to, not the
process of removing obsolete packages.
As you seem to agree with that, it really seems that we agree here.
BTW: it would be nice if you could take a bit less agressive tone in the
discussion. That would maybe improve the atmosphere a bit. Nobody is
attacking you personally, we are just trying to have a civil
conversation (at least I am).
Thanks,
Bas.
