The same is true for gitorious, but we have dropped those remote-ids |
| 15 |
from the tree nevertheless: |

However, I think that your point is valid. So the basic question is |
| 19 |
whether we should keep dead upstreams in that list, for archival |

purposes? If the answer is yes, then consequently we should also keep |
| 21 |
gitorious (and maybe revert above commit?). |
