I disagree with this suggest: it is not because the packager want to
drop the package from the distribution the package must be drop from all
computer around the world.

Moreover we take the risk to match a completelly unrelated package (git
is one the notable example, before being a VCS it was a set tools).

For me obsolete should be reserved for replacements or rename, nothing
more.

BTW: I don't understand the need of versionned obsolete (why the &lt;=
cauldron version).

Regards.
