Agreed. That's why there are last rights announcements with a 30 day |
| 14 |
delay before the package is actually removed. That is also why we allow |

In a nutshell, the people complaining about removals should stop |
| 18 |
complaining and start volunteering to maintain either the packages, or |
| 19 |
set up some place on github or some other service and maintain the |
| 20 |
software so we can package it. |
