There really needs to be a grace period there. Some problems, such as 
dependencies broken by the removal, will only get noticed after the package 
is retired.

(By the way, why were packages retired regardless of dependencies in this 
round? In the past, only the leaf packages were dropped at first, and for 
the others, the maintainers of dependent packages were asked whether to pick 
up the dependencies or retire the dependent packages.)
