Do maintainer really "often" forget, that they own a certain package? Ok, maybe if they are forced to do this from Red Hat, I do not know. But I am happy for every package that I do not have to maintain. But I think packages with no bug reports because they are not used are also not that big of a problem if they exist, unless they are really big or take very long to be rebuilt. It's imho at least not a problem that needs to be checked for every year. Or can you point to any known issues because of such packages since Fedora started? Regards Till
