Sorry, couldn't find the message you are referring to - was it posted under the same name?

Something which came back with 'removed on such and such a date for such and such a reason' would be so much more useful than a database which only mentioned packages that still existed. After all, if there is a philosophical objection to a package on some ground, removing it makes a much stronger statement if people know why it isn't there. Regards, DigbyT -- Digby R. S.
