5 Not really, but in my experience packages up for removal are quite
6 obviously so. Meaning that usually there's little question that it
7 should go.

9 In this case for example, there has been no upstream activity for a long
10 time now (a year at least), the project got forked before that and now
11 really has a second life as inkscape. I was even thinking about adding a
12 move statement for it when removing.

14 On the other hand, I don't mind waiting 30 days either. It's just that
15 most removals right now give a 1-2 week period react time, I just kept
16 to that.
