I agree that sunrise should be retired, but this must be done gracefully, because people (including myself) are still using some packages from it. A grace period (between read-only state and removal from layman and other listings) should be at least one year, maybe several years as was suggested in another e-mail here. This way people will be able to safely migrate and pick any packages of interest from sunrise to the main tree or other repos. Best regards, Andrew Savchenko
