Though I have nothing against this removal, and though I agree this package should have been maintained by the GNOME team (I am sure Josselin thought it was the case): why was this request approved without any prior agreement from the maintainer of the package (me in that case)? Isn't there any check made before removing a package from the archive to ensure the request was actually my by the maintainer (in case of a RoM)? I see also that current users of gdm (still in the archive) now miss a feature, and as far as I know, they are currently not forced to switch to gdm3. Cheers, Julien -- ,''`.
