Alright, the 5 day vote is now over for the removal of xterminus.
I count 18 yes votes and 2 no votes, this meets quorum and means xterminus is no longer a Trusted User. I think everyone is in agreement that his packages should be moved unsupported and I suppose (unless anyone else wants to volunteer) I'll be putting all the modules in there. I think we should leave them in there for a few days to pick at them if that's ok with everyone else.
All right. In fact in the past months I have silently updated many of xterminus' perl packages after he "disappeared" in July/August. Since some are dependencies of other packages in [community], I intend to adopt these and several others that I use.

I have adopted a bunch of perl packages from xterminus, and I checked all the remaining ones for those that are dependencies of other community packages. The result is as follows: perl-convert-asn1 is a dependency of perl-ldap (maintained by Sergej) perl-crypt-simple > checkgmail (dtw) perl-curses and perl-curses-ui > yfklog and yfktest (bfinch) perl-net-ipv6addr < gresolver (Sergej) So Sergej, dtw and bfinch, I suggest that you adopt the above pkgs ;-) I think all other packages previously maintained by xterminus can now be orphaned and moved to [unsupported]. BTW, is there a way to do this other than the pedestrian manner described in the wiki? Best wishes to all fellow TUs for the new year! F
