Seems I completely missed that.

Granted, the popcon numbers for rsyslog-gssapi [1] aren't high, but you have to take into account that popcon submissions need to be enabled explicitly. So the actual numbers I'd expect to be higher. What popcon numbers are interesting for though, is seeing trends and making comparisons. E.g. you see that the gssapi module is apparently more installed more often then the pqsql one ("installed") but used less often ("vote"). This might suggest that people have installed the package, but not actually used it afterwards. That said, the gssapi support was enabled after an explicit user request [2]. I can certainly drop the rsyslog-gssapi package again, but if that is avoidable, I'd rather not do it.
