If nobody cares enough to report "anything" then why should we keep them? I think that's the main rationale here. Of course, making it a release goal (as in terms of RC, not RG) would allow anyone to know that if nothing happens it won't be shipped, thereby making people react to those problems (yes, having orphaned packages is a problem).
That's what I meant, of course. My point is that orphaned packages with a large user base and no reported RC bugs should not get dropped _just_ because they are orphaned. I'm well aware that orphans are a problem.
Doesn't really bear that much discussion, as actual practice works about right.
