Okay, with the slight difference that clearly they *can* do it: removing a package is a trivial action. The question is really whether they *want* to do it. > If they say no, then they said no.

Okay, as long as their saying no would not immediately make them as "bad" as the few packages they refuse to remove. I still personally do not wish for them to remove those packages, and I explained why earlier, but that's just me. > Just like it is unkind to try and force the GNU project to for example > recommend Melpa in Emacs since it would go against our principles. As far as I can tell, nobody in this conversation is asking for that.
