While I would love to see 100% migration, the benefits for leaf packages
aren't that big. We have fairly good compatibility support, and only
a small number of people are using each package.

And there's the problem of who should do the work. I don't think
FESCo members can be responsible personally for the implementation,
and so far nobody has stepped up. I'm not volunteering to dive that
deep into the other 95 packages. So not taking a decision without the
power to have it implemented is better than having it taken and ignored.
If ajax manages to kill the 17 -sysvinit subpackages, that will be a
good first step.

After that, we probably should concentrate on high-visibility packages,
installed by default, installed on Live CD, etc.
I started today with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1199169.
