... if you had a clue on what you were saying.

The tinderbox _by design_ is not testing "weirdest of all setups", it's
testing baseline. And if nobody's interested in getting (example)
media-video/w3cam working (#247917 — last activity on the bug by me on
2010; last activity by someone else in 2008!), I don't see why it should
be kept in tree.

Bloody hell, I wonder how many people complaining about removing
packages are actually using said packages, rather that complaining on
principles!
