It would be nice if removal of EOL'ed FOSS was implemented as "move from /release to /contrib". I understand that how easy that is to pull off depends on which consolidation the components being removed live in, so I'd expect that often i-teams would balk at moving removed items to /contrib. Also, /contrib is getting populated quite independently of the ARC, thus another legitimate answer from i-teams could be that "hey, /contrib is someone else's problem, and we might even move these pkgs there, but we won't commit to it". Still, I recommend that i-teams just move FOSS to /contrib, instead of simply removing it, whenever it makes sense.
