RFC: /removal.txt - list of metadata planned for removal

RFC: /removal.txt - list of metadata planned for removal

[Marcin Juszkiewicz]

During this week I'm fetching sources for whole 'world' and noticed many 
unfetchable things. Because just dropping them from metadata is not best 
way I was thinking about creating file with informations which parts of 
metadata will be removed. File will be named 'removal.txt' and will 
reside in / of repository.

Proposed format:

Package Name:	plinciv
Removal Date:	2006-11-20
Maintainer:	none
Reason:		Unfetchable version from 2003 year.


What do you think about it?

  I hope, "removed unless fixed"?

I think 'removed because obsolete' or 'removed because nasty hack' would be valid reasons
to get on that list as well.
