The reason I ask is that, in perusing the PLF package descriptions which
include the reason the package is in PLF, the criteria seems to be
"Mandriva was afraid to include this in main/contrib for <fill in your
own reason from a large list>" . The Mageia policies try to enumerate
specific reasons why things will be put in tainted, but don't explcitly
say that there's anything we *wouldn't* put in tainted. So it's hard to
know whether tainted == PLF or not.
