You'll get cache hits for "trying packages" - but we need hits for "usages". But you're right that that could be a starting point, too.
I just think that its very important to understand what gets used, too. About debian and dropping: Right, If something does not work it should be dropped. I just think its nice to have some guaranteed time to fix as well as some hints that packages are broken. Whether a package gets removed 3 month earlier/later doesn't matter as long as it gets masked and then removed.
