No actual result at the moment. I was playing with something not really
related and noticed the impressive number on conflicts in the
distribution, with many easily identifiable as very old packages. I just
preferred asking if it was worth looking at it a bit further.
Not sure about the wishlist bug though. That would be proper mass filing,
and I would like to know how big the thing is first.
