Cool, would have been helpful you have filed such RM...
FTR, itk is going to be removed pretty soon, as we managed to clear the
rdeps, as you read :)

don't close this bug until it's fixed, it'll be closed by the RM once
processed.
If you think this package needs to be removed file a RM. Since the only
rdep is insighttoolkit, that is also clear to be removed now, it's going
to be removed at the same time.

you can't remove gccxml.
You filed a RM, but that's really not enough. A FTP master followed up
on the bug report, but you apparently ignored the email. All rdeps
needs to be cleared before the RM can proceed. That means that all the
bugs I filed (you can see the blocker on your RM) need to be closed.

Yes, but that only happened because I filed those bugs and I'm working
on them, I'd have actually expected you do that (at least the bug
filing, not the fixing them). I'm saying so, becuase that's true also
for other RMs of the past (like itk, indeed, where the bugs "itk is
going to be rmed, switch to itk4" have been filed by others).
For what concerns cableswig, please just ask the removal of the package,
then :)
Ahah, so easy fix :>
Thanks!
