By the way, in order to preach by example I just moved 54 of my perl packages from community to unsupported. They all had low usage and were not dependencies. I had to keep some others with few votes because they are needed by pkgs maintained by sergej ;)
To make the cleanup operation easier I wrote this little script:
I'd just like to remind people that moving from community erases all package metadata entirely -- there's no real move operation. If your package has a lot of important votes/comments, I would consider waiting until we come to some backend changes which allow easier moving. Louipc is working on this at the moment, so hopefully it shouldn't be too long.
In the cases of the packages I moved yesterday, they all had 1 or 2 votes and no comments. So there's no loss. But of course I will welcome the addition of a real backend script which moves packages properly from community (or extra) to unsupported. F
