+Actually, _YOU_ want us to "manage this case differently from other similar
+situations".
+In case you didn't see, other packages are obsoleted by task-obsolete (if
+no better package)
+
+In this case, we even have strong decisions to do so:
+1) users don't report bugs in our bugzilla
+2) users get aware it's no longer supported by us
+3) users get aware they won't get any security update anymore
+4) users get aware they have to look at sun.com for updates
+5) ...
+
+So please don't invent special exceptions to our policies for
+your own comfort.
