I wouldn't. I don't keep tabs on every package that my packages depend on. One of them could be orphaned and I would never know. > > Most? Really? Wow, I'm impressed. Are you sure?

No; I haven't investigated it. That's why I am asking to let those maintainers decide. Thinking up yet one more way to make the decision without involving them seems like a poor strategy. There is no need for me to figure out whether there is a specific example or not. Instead, just tell the maintainers, and give them the option.
