There could very well be a case of someone in the userbase who is willing to maintain a package but doesn't track rawhide nor the high noise lists (at the moment the package is dropped from Core)... but will notice as soon as they install the next release and the package is not there. It's much easier to keep a centralized list of orphaned packages through the test period and release transition to point people as complains roll in than to search and reference multiple list posts. Keep a list of orphans long enough to make sure everyone who didn't notice till they installed the new core release has a chance to see the list and volunteer... wipe the list clean before the next test phase of core begins. How to handle dropping stuff from a rolling extras is a bit tougher with appropriate notice. -jef
