+Just because we are dropping a pkg from the distro Does Not mean that
+the pkg either needs to be or should be obsoleted.
+
+Both mousepad and xfprint still work in mga3 and it should be up to the
+user whether he wishes to remove them from his system.
+
+I pushed for the removal of both apps from the mirrors, as they are
+dead, upstream but I strongly object to the practice of adding Any
+working application to task-obsolete.
+
+My loathing is such that task-obsolete is the #1 on my urpmi skip.list.
