Of course it's not word-by-word what I wrote, but it was clearly the meaning: When we remove packages from the distribution because we don't need them anymore, we don't just remove them from testing, we remove them from both testing and unstable. Do you still need examples or references that this is what we usually do in those cases? (Report against the package, reassign to ftp.debian.org). > The package as-is is in no way unfit for stretch nor sid.

It's not too late to remove a whole compiler but it's too late to remove a leaf package on which no other Debian package depends for years? I would really like to understand the logic of your reasoning, but I still can't, sorry. Thanks.
