+I never excluded them from the count because they "don't count", but because 
+removing them gave a better visibility to package maintainerships. Removing 
+them showed how little packages had a maintainer, and I think it was more 
+incitative (and entertaining) to go from 1118 maintained packages to 2000.
+
+Now that the objective of 2000 has been attained, I set the focus on the 
+number of unmaintained packages, and thought that it was interesting to keep 
+the same way to count maintained packages so that we still see the progression 
+we got since we started. I hesitated between 3 objectives :
+- more non-perl packages maintained than unmaintained
+- help jquelin to have more packages than "nobody"
+- less than 2000 packages to nobody.
+
+I chose the objective that was closer to us (going step by step), but if you 
+want we can chose another one :)
