Then we can increase the heuristic, like "upgrade to a new version", or "do several commit on it". Someone upgrading a package either : - is interested in it for the package ( and thus would be a maintainer ) - is interested into having it upgraded for using on another package ( and thus, as a user of the rpm for another rpm, has a interest to not make it disappear ). And i doubt that someone would do X commit on a rpm if not interested in it. -- Michael Scherer
