I was actually talking about every stable release from now on, starting from stretch, so yes, it would if we wanted to remove the package from both testing and unstable. > Neither would the RC severity have really been appropriate. It would. That's the right severity for "we don't want this package in the next stable" and also for "do we really want this package in the next stable?". Do you want me to find examples for this? I don't understand why this is so much difficult to explain. BTW: gcc-5 was removed on 2017-02-19, well after the freeze. Thanks.
