4 Regardless of how we might want to get rid of m-n packages, I do
5 wonder about who commits them, and why. For example, while looking
6 into the list of m-n packages, I also found
7 dev-python/remoteobjects-99999999, which was also entered into the
8 tree by vapier as m-n.

10 vapier, what's the rationale behind including these packages in the
11 tree? And if you need them, why can't you maintain them?

13 (I'm asking this as a member of the Python project, where we probably
14 wouldn't mind picking up some python m-n packages.)
