The problem is that sometimes a package is out-of-date but can't be updated for various reasons.
I don't see the relevance to the point this seemed to be a response to. That package may be hard/impossible to maintain, true - but separate flags for 'out of date', 'broken', 'wont compile' wouldn't aid that situation any. In fact they might make it worse.
I was responding to auto-orphaning of all packages, even the ones that aren't out-of-date due to maintainer negligence, not specifically about having just one flag. -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg PGP Key ID: 3A9D0BB5
