When are you supposed to run remove-retired-packages?
After the upgrade.
If you run remove-retired-packages after the upgrade, you already
managed to upgrade and nothing is broken, no?
Nothing is broken **now**. But it very often broke N+1 or N+2
upgrade. I remember some package broken N+5 upgrade. And then you
(or some co-maintainer) hesitated to add it to
fedora-obsolete-packages because "it is too old". :)
That's why we should keep packages in f-o-p for much longer than we
currently do. There was just a thread about Jiri upgrading from F22
to a recent release. That procedure would have been made easier if
f-o-p had more packages.
What exactly is the rationale for constantly trimming the list in f-o-p?
It is a huge mess to maintain.
