The following packages were orphaned by me *after* the F8 release specifically because I thought that'd help them from being garbage collected almost immediately (yes, from devel), so something is inconsistent with the two paragraphs above.
gkrellm-weather, libid3tag, openct, opensc, pcsc-perl, pcsc-tools
Also, as far as I know, the cdiff package has already been orphaned and pruned from the repos since FE-4. It should not be brought back, colordiff replaces
There is a difference between orphaning or end of lifeing. Orphans need a timeout before they can be tossed.
Hm, sure, I understand that, but could you clarify which of the cases above (1st: 6 listed packages or 2nd: cdiff) you're replying to? I'm having problems inferring the context.
To clarify: cdiff was just a side note. What I wanted to point out that Warren's message said "removal of packages from rawhide who have been without owners since prior to Fedora 8", but the listed packages included several packages that had owners until _after_ Fedora 8, so someone could be interested in verifying that the list indeed includes packages that it was intended to include. I don't care that deeply, I did orphan those packages anyway...
