Exactly -- my message was meant as start of a discussion and that's why I move it to this list, that seemed like the better place. > > Am Montag, den 15.05.2006, 12:44 +0200 schrieb Michael Schwendt: > > > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/OrphanedPackages > > > > > > The packages > > > > > > lrmi > > > xosd > > > > > > are on the list of orphaned packages.

Well, we can extend the timeframe a bit to (for example) two or four weeks.
