How exactly would you do this? Maintain a list of all packages ever removed |
| 7 |
from the tree? What if the package name is a common word? What about bugs |
| 8 |
requesting a previously removed package be re-added? Or a different |
| 9 |
project using the same name? |

The person dumping the package should be checking for open bugs at the time |
| 15 |
of removal. |
