No active kernel users.
You indicate that you want to "remove old kernel versions",
and at the moment, I think that there is no need to do this.
It is desirable to make older patches downloadable from the mirror server.

I believe we should do the following for openswan.
* Mark the package as broken in Config
* Move the latest kernel patches to the mirror server.
* Add a comment about this in the Config
* Remove all openswan kernel patches from svn.
Even if someone does not use openswan today, it seems
to be useful and I would like to have some encouragement 
left for people to fix it.
