Deleting orphans (and for that matter compat packages) is very helpful for users. It's *very* annoying and time consuming to build a system (technical or social) around packages which are no longer maintained and will disappear at the worst possible time (for you). One of the *big* advantages of using RHL/FC over Debian has historically been @rh maintainers spent some time carefully selecting best-of-breed apps to package instead of packaging everything under the sun and letting most of it bitrot. If the repository is not to be aggressively pruned (at least in devel, keeping stuff in existing releases is something else) I'd really love if all the convenient-but-really-dangerous-to-use-long-term stuff was moved to a separate repo from FE proper (Fedora Extra Purgatory or whatever). It is really not up to FE usual standards and if we're not careful it will poison the core repo reputation among users (just like other repos still bear the stigmatas of the poor choices they may have done at a time, even if they have long since mended their ways) Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
