New comment by Chocimier on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/25583#issuecomment-708934213 Comment: I am not much again transitional packages, where packages they pull are viable, compatible replacements for removed ones. I am strongly against removing packages by revbump installing empty package. This breaks users workflow without any clue what happened. This is hostile. Some @void-linux/pkg-committers seemed to agree. That's true that xbps have no ability to make removal explicit, so let's add it. I am slowly working towards it since over year, thinking exactly about python2 drop back then. "Xbps can't" shouldn't be eternal excuse for disrupting user's work.
