Dear Xubuntu Community, I've noticed that the *xubuntu-core* package, which is currently marked as transitional, still has a significant number of dependants. It has about essentially 94 dependant packages, as a result of *xubuntu-desktop-minimal* being a dependency/dependant of such. While I understand the concept of transitional packages, as usually defined as follows:
A transitional package is one that has been superseded by a more modern package, but still exists in the archive to provide backwards compatibility for old packages [often in a context where they get renamed]. It seems a bit concerning that a package marked as transitional continues to be *'relied'* upon by essential system components. Much so that its description says, *"It can be safely removed"* even if otherwise. Any information or clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and attention on this issue. Kindest regards, Jill Abarte (Keiaa)
