"nobody" does not mean the same thing as "only a few people". I don't think that every package is sacred; if you have a particular reason to think that a particular package should be removed, great! But a bulk "anything that is orphaned and has a low popcon number must be useless" is incorrect. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
