Re: [arch-dev-public] When to remove provides/conflicts/replaces?

Hi,

Do we have any guidelines on when to remove the provides/conflicts/replaces arrays from a PKGBUILD? In other words, what is the oldest system we support updating from?

kernel26 still has replaces=('kernel24'), although I think updating from a system that still supported kernel24 will be impossible without major problems. I don't think there was ever a guideline on removing these, other than a vague "when it makes sense".
