Mandriva is planning on reducing packages from almost 14000 to 5000 ... We just need more packagers and the problem goes away :-)

Eclipse being one of them, it contains multiple rpm,s many zip files and many patches. Being an Eclipse user, I'd love to try updating the Eclipse packages. Alas, that's one very complex build. Perhaps porting the spec from Fedora or another RPM-based distribution using a more modern Eclipse would be easier than trying to update what is already there. Once my mentoring starts, I'd certainly be up for trying my hand at that, along with some of the other simpler unmaintained packages that I would personally use. - Michael
