Speaking on behalf of myself, I think it would be smart if we started shedding some packages from extra that we don't really use- we shouldn't feel obliged to maintain them just because someone else put them there and stuck us with them. Package maintenance can be a real bore if you aren't even interested in the package you are working on. So phrased shortly- if you don't use it and other devs don't have interest, throw it to unsupported where it may or may not get picked up by a TU. -Dan
