I respect your point of view, but I still think that doing that is actually better than patching things over to get the original stuff back. That being said it's fine to disagree and let's see what the raw consensus is, but taking into account why the 5k+ packages fail. If many are do to stuff like the python's egg issue, well, clearly many things can be easily fixed. If the majority of issues are because maintainers do not care maybe it is really a signal of something that used to make sense and nowadays might not do as much as it used to. Making those bugs RC would mean forcing people to solve a feature that they are clearly not using. But do please file the bugs, and even better, send patches!
