Does the idea include removing srpm also?

Hello,
When a package is no longer supported, without being replaced by an
other package, and needs to be removed from the distribution, the
current procedure is :
- move the package on svn to obsolete directory
- ask a sysadmin to manually remove the package from repositories
Instead of asking a sysadmin to do it, I propose that we create a
package task-obsolete, with obsoletes on all packages that need
to be
removed, so that the removing of the package will be done by youri.
I think it would be better :
- anybody with commit access can do it without asking a sysadmin
- we can have a list and logs of packages dropped since previous
Mageia
release, which can be useful when writting release notes
- users who don't want to keep unsupported packages installed on
their
system can install the package to remove them
What do you think ?
How about putting back previously unsupported packages? The only text
editor that I use is joe and someone has decided to remove it from
Mageia.
I took the Redhat Enterprise version and ported it to mageia. For a
while the maintainers of joe has incorporated a bug that would make it
such that it would core dump if you tried to open more than one file
at a time.
I am willing to maintain this package.

No problem, since you are willing to maintain it, as long as it makes it
past QA.
(Which means the core dump problem would have to be solved, if not already.)
It would be an update to cauldron, and a backport for Mageia 1 (unless
it was in Mandriva 2010.1/2, in which case it would be an update).
