Comment (by toshio):

 The major problem with removing acls is what happens in case a package is
 unretired.  Especially when a package is unretired within a few days of
 being retired.  (For instance the, "I wasn't reading the warnings about
 this package being retired but I need it as a dependency of my package so
 I'll take it" issue or the "I hit the retire button by mistake" issue).
 Perhaps something can be done to hide the acls in the interface (and
 package owner email aliases and etc) if the package is retired? Although
 that leaves people who want to remove their acls for some reason (ie: I
 was involved in ocaml development but now I'm leaving that community and
 don't want to be informed of changes whether or not the packages are
 required or active.) Without a method to do so.
