Hi all,
FYI: I plan to drop squirrelmail from [extra]. It is orphaned and it wont work with PHP 5.4. (According to pkgstats it has no users anyway)
Greetings,

pkgstats is wrong. I use it, and have for years.

Then you didn't install pkgstats and have had it running ;)
Nope. Have had pkgstats installed since 2008:

And (as far as I know) its weekly cron job has been running successfully. Just ran it again by hand now to make sure:
[root@darsys12 log]# su -s /bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/pkgstats -q' nobody
Anyway, bottom line is: I don't think your assumption that squirrelmail has no users in Arch is correct.

pkgstats only shows packages with more than 1% usage. Squirrelmail might have users but it's less than 1%, i.e. not enough to keep it in repo.
