New comment by 0x5c on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/44422#issuecomment-1659081991 Comment: > > I have never heard of any packages getting that treatment (may have happened but never heard of that), nor did anyone suggest doing that. > > But usually packages are removed for being obsolete, not because they are suddenly deemed undesirable while having active users. At least from changes I've seen, I can name https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/40044 (PolyMC) as a package deemed undesirable (in that case, rogue upstream) with a then active userbase that also didn't get a message when removed despite the replacement being a not fully compatible fork.
