Yes, the idea is to move them to unmaintained which technically purges the packages, sorry for the confusion. --001a114702a4c082f2053a4c1192 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I'm also afraid that this might put artificial presssure on us, while i= t's not strictly needed.

We acknowledged multiple times the need of QA, and this seems to me to be a= good use case. aarch64 isn't building, and some packages are obviously= abandoned (which is a problem, too), but I would be happier if we would te= st everything on the platforms it's supposed to support.
