Right. So what you want is depot administration. /pending is
purely a
scratch repo for people who know that it'll change out from underneath
them, and that's okay. So you can just remove packages from it. In
fact,
all you really need to do is to remove manifests and rebuild the
catalog.
Part of the requirement of toxic is that the bits themselves (may)
need to
be removed, too.
Of course, right now, the client doesn't handle magically disappearing
packages very well, so a better solution is needed.
