I think that part of the misunderstanding is that I don't see "six
months" as equivalent to "stale". We're not even to the seven year
point of RHEL 2.1. And there are definitely things that I personally
migrated from elvis -> fedorahosted that, while not relevant with
"current" distros still are for older RHEL.
1) we send an email to the group members explaining their project is
stale
and asking to remove it.
2) they respond saying they'd like to not have it removed. (it stays)
It stays for how long? If we look at the set of what's being talked
about here, I can already tell you that the vast majority are going to
fall into the "wanting to be kept" category. Which means that we're
doing a lot of administrative overhead for how much gain?
3) they respond saying its no longer used and it can be removed (we
remove
it or they move it elsewhere)
4) no one responds (it gets removed)
Within what time period? And if it later becomes relevant/needed again
we just hope that someone has a backup?
