Considering the amount of packages depending on mono, removing it from testing is probably out of question anyway, but that's up tio the Release and Security teams. Also, "keeping the outdated unmaintained package is better than not keeping it" is overturned by one of those teams quite often. > More generally requests for the packaging of new upstream releases > tend to use a "wishlist" severity level, not "important" and even less > "serious". Indeed, the completely correct state would be a wishlist bug "the version is too old" and a serious bug "the package is unmaintained", with the exactly same result but more paperwork, but it's a common practice to not make a separate bug report of the second type and just bump the severity of a related one. -- WBR, wRAR
