That probably isn't even all of them. On Sat somebody pointed out bug 933383 which isn't even linked to the tracker. I'm sure it would have been, but I probably closed it before it got that far. I don't want to be too picky as the core language maintainers have A LOT of work to do, but part of the challenge is that it isn't very obvious to a package maintainer (or anybody else) what packages actually have problems. It is obvious if you actually look at a package, but many maintainers have a large number of packages and some are co-maintained, and knowing that one of your 100 packages wasn't updated yet isn't easy. I'm not sure if somebody has a tool for finding these packages in the tree, but some kind of reporting on that would help. Such reports need to be indexed to maintainers as well, because getting a list of 1000 package names that need updating doesn't help a maintainer to notice that they happen to maintain the one on line 387. -- Rich
