I agree that sunrise should be retired, but this must be done |
| 16 |
gracefully, because people (including myself) are still using some |
| 17 |
packages from it. |

A grace period (between read-only state and removal from layman and |
| 20 |
other listings) should be at least one year, maybe several years |
| 21 |
as was suggested in another e-mail here. This way people will be |
| 22 |
able to safely migrate and pick any packages of interest from |
| 23 |
sunrise to the main tree or other repos. |
