Only very few people have -proposed enabled, so there they aren't a real benefit. So we must ensure that the package at least works, to ensure that we don't have breakage due to underlying toolchain change, different moon phase, etc. We already had the most stupid regressions that way; then we can move them to -updates. > Really, unless a package gets either positive or negative feedback, > why not just leave it in proposed indefinitely? What's the hurry to > remove them? For preparing 10.04.2 CDs we need to "flush" proposed for the packages which are shipped on any CD/DVD; postgrey doesn't seem to be on the server CDs, but it's likely that they are on a DVD. But in either case it's primarily a matter of not using proposed as a dumping ground for forgotten packages.
