The two people you refer to (solpeth and hololeap) both warmly |
| 29 |
welcomed this move and endorse it. It'd be great to have them as developers |

This is a similar style cleanup to what we did with OCaml / dev-ml/*. |

If people want to keep some packages, we can talk about that, |
| 35 |
sure - but help would be needed to look after their dependencies. |
