True. But for this one case, the developer contributing the package is
still active, submitting patches for other things from time to time. So
I was hoping that a stronger hint at "please fix your packages
otherwise they'll get removed" was in order.

Let's say that we'll remove this package before the 2017.05 release if
nobody unbreaks it?
