I think it goes even further: "Any name that has appeared as the origin of a move must not be reused in the future. Any slot that has appeared as the origin of a slot move may not be used by packages matching the spec of that slot move in the future." To me this means moving the packages in question back to slot 2 is never allowed, because they were once removed from it. Does this interpretation sound correct? What is the rationale for PMS logic? Finally, do we have a good way now to automate checks against this? Paweł
