Hi,
Are the orphan purges going to be batched in the future, or will
they be automatic once a package hits that 6-week mark? What kind
of advance warning can users expect before these packages (and
their dependents) get removed?

As far as I understand it is not possible to automate this. Thus it
will always be sort of batched. There is a weekly email which covers
what packages are currently orphaned. People should watch for those if
they are interested.
Does that answer the question? [Sorry headache so words not working well.]

Yes, thank you. Will you continue to give advance notification
of the
purge dates?
