Is it possible to clarify or re-iterate occasionally the purpose of this 
mission for some of us less savvy lurkers? Are you querying these packages 
because they are known to be broken or just that they will become broken once 
the old GNOME libraries are cleaned up?

I don't wish to interfere with a worthwhile cleanup  process, I confess to 
being a terrible hoarder myself and I'd just like some reassurance that 
you're not proposing to throw out any babies with the bathwater. It's not 
like I actually use any of these applications either.
