Finally I got this idea , we should have the *archived packages group*,
that can be excluded from mass rebuild and gcc and python updates etc .
The rest of the idea is instead force the retirement of the package we
move it to the archive group , and by default archive group is not used
, but if any one need a library to run an obsoleted applications he can
.   

As Kevin Kofler (more or less) wrote in "Pcre Deprecation" thread,
maybe we should be prepared to support pcre-1 forever and IMO we also
can extend the concept to other packages, btw GTK2 is one of them .


Checking on rawhide gtk2 still have 385 packages that depend on gtk2
