Mark, there is not much use in sending me the same message twice,
instead I'd prefer somebody answering to my reply of July 1st.

The email was automated, and it was requested that I send it out again.

I'm sorry I forgot to reply to your previous message.  For what it's
worth I believe that Kevin Fenzi is working on LXDE

The way that script works it talks direct to the packagedb so packagedb
thinks it's branched and could therefore be orphaned/retired.  Do you
have an example of a package for which you think a branch is not in place?

As for the packages that should be retired, all EPEL devs were asked to
place nobranch files into the EL-5 branch prior to the branching for
EL-6, several months ago.  Just use the nice big "Retire package" button
in pkgdb.
