      Agreed.  It is atleast a metric that can be tweaked as
        opposed to pretending that all packages with inactive upstreams
        is a deep resource drain on Fedora. 

      
    It's not pretending anything if you question what I suggest you get
    input from the arm team they are the once that most recently went
    through all the packages right. 

    
    Let's hear from them how well much time they spent fixing
    unmaintained or badly maintained packages for nothing.

    
        I would suggest that when we identify such packages,  we
        take steps to try and get more maintainers for those packages
        first before trying to cull them off.   For instance, sending a
        note to fedora announce list and here with the list of
        problematic packages.   That way, everyone will have a fair
        chance to try and rescue the packages they care about.
    
    
    What you are proposing is what has been tried to be achieved for the
    past ten years and utterly failed hence we need a different
    approach.

    
    I say we remove those unmaintained components and if and when
    interest comes back to maintain those components then they will just
    have to pass through package review again.
