Well, it's IMHO just a question of "how long does the maintainer have
time to fix a bug"? As I hope / wish that we release sarge soon, the
threshold for sarge where I start action is significantly lower than
the general threshold.
However, after the deep freeze of sarge, I plan to inspect all
packages that are not in sarge, and propose removal / orphaning on a
case-by-case basis.
Cheers,
Andi
