There may be more to that iceberg than appears above the surface in
the form of non-distributed or private software outside the realm of
the public repositories.

As for examples, I can only point to some of my own ancient binaries
which I would certainly not suggest as a plea to preserve glib1.

But there may be other more significant interests with software
vendors and large private users.

I have no idea how significant this might be, but perhaps this should
be discussed more publicly.

Cheers
