6 I'm assuming you're talking only about broken builds here and not
7 "QA-only" bugs. My opinion is that if a tinderbox QA script is the only
8 thing finding a nonfatal bug, and it's never reported or CC'd by a user,
9 then it's about as low priority as you can get.

11 So this might serve as a pointer to potentially unmaintained packages,
12 but clearly more investigation is required before removal.
