Agreed Neil. Actually I'm pretty much running that things after every
step. It only takes about 20 seconds to run and is a nice early
warning system for things to come.

What I'd really like would be for eix-test-obsolete to have an option
to run against the remote rsync server *before* I run eix-sync so that
I can see what my issues will be after the sync operation removes
things. That would give me a nice heads up that I need to archive
something before I get sent to the CVS attic.

Thanks,
Mark
