+</I>&gt;<i> current procedure is :
+</I>&gt;<i> - move the package on svn to obsolete directory
+</I>&gt;<i> - ask a sysadmin to manually remove the package from repositories
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Instead of asking a sysadmin to do it, I propose that we create a
+</I>&gt;<i> package task-obsolete, with obsoletes on all packages that need to be
+</I>&gt;<i> removed, so that the removing of the package will be done by youri.
+</I>&gt;<i> I think it would be better :
+</I>&gt;<i> - anybody with commit access can do it without asking a sysadmin
+</I>&gt;<i> - we can have a list and logs of packages dropped since previous Mageia
+</I>&gt;<i> release, which can be useful when writting release notes
+</I>&gt;<i> - users who don't want to keep unsupported packages installed on their
+</I>&gt;<i> system can install the package to remove them
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> What do you think ?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>Good idea.
