So far, policies about orphans have been lax or non-existent as to give potential contributors the opportunity to evaluate orphans and pick them up more easily. However, I think the time has come to delete orphans from the repository more regularly and in accordance with a well-defined policy. Else the list of orphans will grow as we continue in "devel" and old orphans exist only in the old branches. I'm a proponent of the all-or-nothing strategy: orphaned binaries are deleted from all active (i.e. still supported branches). Once a new maintainer is found, he could update and publish new builds.
Exactly. I am wanting to see a better way of handling orphans and what I consider (I say I, cuz my point doesn't seem to be clear to some) to be retired packages.
