There are tons of sw in Debian without an active upstream and some of them are also orphaned or so. If those programs work I see no reasons to force removing. Of course, when valid alternatives comes out they are progressively abandoned by users and they become candidate for removing, but that's a slow process. I don't think noteedit is among those ones now, on the basis of previous messages. -- Francesco P. Lovergine
