Sorry for not including the link. I wasn't aware that was needed. May I ask why a reason is preferred?

Sure you can ask why. I have two reasons why it should be preferred to drop a note about a reason why it needs to be deleted. First, we won't remove package just because of some random request (or: "Hey, lets ask for removal of all packages!"). Usually only packages that violate rules, packages that are broken, orphaned and not updated for really long time, packages with nonexistant sources, packages that have been renamed and many different reasons that didn't came into my mind when writing this list. Giving a note why the package should be removed is certainly helpful. Second - curiosity. I'm curious why the package was removed. In this case I guess it was the case of "no longer working package and upstream is abandoned", because the last commit in their development tree was two years ago. Have a nice day, Lukas
