1. I cannot afford downloading 2GB of cooker (and update it every day). So, I
keep track of "most important" packages, but it is kind of upsetting that
everything else stopped to work. O.K., I understand that nobody is
interested - it is my personal problem, so ...
2. ... users may well have local software that cannot be updated (for whatever
reason). They may want to install third-party RPMs that still depend on this
library.
3. ... cooker includes compatibility C++ libraries for much older (6.x)
releases. Do you suggest toss them away as well? Remove compat-glibc? Or
forget about libc5?
Finally, I admire the question "why are you interested in compatibility with
previous releases". (nothing personal :-)
