I don't want this removed from my system! AFAIK, our policy is to obsolete any package that is no more in the distro. You can still install the MGA2 rpm if you remove task-obsolete... No, that's false. You have to remove obsoletes package from mirrors, there is no obligation to remove it from end user machines. -- BOFH excuse #259: Someone's tie is caught in the printer, and if anything else gets printed, he'll be in it too.

And isn't the purpose of task-obsoletes to remove from mirrors? The same discussion happened here when proprietary java was removed from the distro, let's not start it again...

I don't want this removed from my system! a reason to why it was removed would've been better The way we usually handle removing packages from the distro is there's some discussion about it on the list first, not just a packager unilaterally deciding it. Even if it was agreed to remove this one from the distro, putting it in task-obsolete in this case is not appropriate.
