No can do; if they're not cleaned they can't be in the official repos
due to copyright/trademarks/legal-soup issues.
Anyway, status update:
o drakwizard: cleaned by Anne and is good to go
o drakfax: the code hasn't been touched in ~2years, so it's been
removed from the repos as it's not really supported
o drakstats: it needs server-side support, this isn't viable for
Mageia 1; so it's been removed for now, until such a time that support
is implemented in the Mageia servers.
After upgrading drakfax will be considered, by urpmi, as an orphan
package as it's not required/suggested by anything any more. As for
drakstats, nothing suggests/requires it already, users who have it,
will have to remove it manually, though maybe something should
obsolete for now... (I'll ask on IRC).
