8 I think that it is probably worth discussing what the right policy
9 should be around allowing masked packages to remain in the tree (if
10 they have a maintainer). This would include packages with documented
11 security flaws in the mask message, but it could also include other
12 kinds of flaws. If the maintainer wants to keep them around, should
13 they be permitted to? Are there any conditions on this, or is it
14 maintainer-preference as long as it stays masked?
