Let's make a graph to show how bad it continues to be.
expac -S -t '%Y-%m' '%b' $(cat return_one) | sort | uniq -c | sed 's/^ *//' > return_one_releases http://kmkeen.com/tmp/return-one-releases.png
If packages were actually cleaned up when updated, the red line would be flat on zero. Instead, 50-100 packages with 'return 1' are released every month. (And yes, the oldest surviving package is almost three years old. Happy birthday perl-passwd-md5, if you make it another month.)
Uhh... I see myself in you, somewhat. People that make graphs, and estimation of everything... In my last "work" I made a Monte Carlo simulation for estimating the probabilities of the winner of soccer championship (Brasileirão 2010, I'm Brazilian) (note: I hate soccer...). And worked! I get the first 3 places correct six rounds before the end (from a total of 38 rounds)...
