IMHO: i think obsoleting it is fine, but with a README.urpmi that says
notifies
that it's been obsoleted.


Yes that seems the best solution to me

We can do like RH&  Ubuntu, provides an empty package that explain sun doesn't
enable us anymore to distribute it and that they've to install (&  update) it
manually from sun.com
Why should we manage this case differently from other similar situations ? That's not the first time we remove something from the distribution, because it is not supported anymore usually, and has known available vulnerabilities.
