Processing of removal bugs by the ftpmasters should knock off at least 50, maybe even 100 of those. But it's still too many to really keep track of. I'm hoping we can push it down to 100-200 and try to maintain it at approximately that level, removing or adopting packages as fast as they're orphaned. I figure trying to get adopters for these top most popular orphaned packages is a good start. If some of these should be removed instead, do say so. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
