So you didn't take the hint when I said the TUs were dealing with this... Packages in community, the low proportion of people who reportedly use some of them and how we can improve that is currently being discussed.
I apologise. I honestly didnt mean to since Sergej replied. Its just within such groups people tend to use diplomacy. I just wanted to make sure that the message gets delivered the way i thought it was appropiate. And i dont think i offended anyone. If i did, im sorry. Its not a war and nothing is personal.
I will stick up for Sergej here. I don't like lots of unused packages in [community] either but I think it is more than possible to maintain that many packages. In fact, any problems reported to Sergej through the bug tracker are rapidly dealt with so he is maintaining them. He may not look at each individual package on a regular basis but if no-one reports a package broken, then there is little point in looking at it until it is flagged out of date.

I am not saying he is doing a bad job. Quite the contrary. but only considering the amount of the packages he maintains. Also he cant vouch for the quality of many of his packages at any given time. And for those packages there is a better place... Greg
