The 73 weeks relates to the state in pkgdb and I should have removed it
from the report. It is not useful here. :-/

As long as all updates are stable for the Final Freeze to fix the broken
deps there should be no problem.

It sounds like several broken deps will be resolved, soon, so there will
be a different picture. Since we only do up to two cleanups a year for
broken deps, it would a good chance to at least add proper
ExcludeArch/ExclusiveArch tags to packages that we cannot fix for the
Final Freeze. If this is not possible I am sure we will find a solution
that does not require to retire well-maintained packages.
