That warning is generated by tracker.d.o, not by the release team. The release team manages transitions and for that job, the auto transitions are an enormous help and avoid quite some issues. Sometimes they are not so useful, but still the release team has now been warned about the binary take-over, which may be useful in case of issues. tracker.d.o exposes all the transitions, except the ones that are marked as no-export, but only manual transitions can get that now. I guess we could enhance the auto transition machinery to allow manual tweaks, but currently there is nothing of that kind. Patches to the auto removal script are of course welcome, but given the frequency of binary package take over, I'm am not going to spend my time on enhancing or fixing the script now. (Obviously I am not speaking for anybody else here). Paul
