Your statement implies that there is an active search process for broken packages. |

I did not intend to imply that if you happened across a broken package with no bugs, |
| 21 |
you needed to raise a bug to remove it from the tree. |

Actively building every package in the tree to discover candidates for removal |
| 24 |
takes a lot more resources than searching bugs to identify potential candidates. |

Its the old case of absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. |
