I am not asking you to stop anything at all, I am just asking questions to
understand if this will not bite us back at some point.

If you feel that you have everything covered then it is fine by me.
Seeing the stream of obsoletions without warning was quite surprising and
raised a few questions.

You know how you want to handle things, but this is maybe less clear to
others.
At least maybe some indications on how to add the packages back and make
sure there is no mistake or loss of consistency with the location/naming
etc..

Kind regards,

Aurélien
