</I>><i>
</I>><i> Agreed, and there are surely other unmaintained packages that lack
</I>><i> sufficient
</I>><i> need or interest to stay and should be dropped as well.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Furthermore, what is the procedure for dropping a package? The wicd

</I>><i> previously asked
</I>><i> on this list if it should be dropped, nobody objected, a bug was
</I>><i> filed asking
</I>><i> to drop it an assigned to <A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">sysadmin-bugs at ml.mageia.org</A> [2], but it
</I>><i> hasn't been
</I>><i> dropped as far as I know.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> [1] - <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5608">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5608</A>
</I>><i> [2] - <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5926">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5926</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Some other candidates for removal that come to mind:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> abrt/libreport/btparser - tool for sending bug reports to RedHat,
</I>><i> does not seem
</I>><i> to belong in Mageia, our drakxtools have their own tool for sending
</I>><i> crash
</I>><i> reports to our bugzilla, unpatched security issues.
</I>><i> <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6523">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6523</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> sos - another RedHat-specific thing, unpatched security issues.
</I>><i> <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6525">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6525</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> libgnomesu - really old and unmaintained upstream, unpatched security
</I>><i> issues,
</I>><i> probably not needed.
</I>><i> <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7068">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7068</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I'm sure there are plenty of other good candidates.

Some months ago, we were speaking of removing all unmainted packages, I
guess this out of brain nowadays ?
