I am especially interested in packages that are in stable but not in testing, and usbmount is in stable. > Current numbers for different time limits (for removed from testing): > > limit / source / packages > 1y / 1011 / 2452 > 2y / 1148 / 2797 > 3y / 1245 / 3026 So the benefit of the one-year limit is not really big. A few hundred lines more or less in "how-can-i-help --all --old" output wouldn't make a difference. "--all --old" is atually much less useful when it is incomplete. And the output of "how-can-i-help --old" (without --all) should really list *all* packages I have installed that are in unstable but not in testing. Currently I am getting 17 packages under "removed from testing" on my computer, but any packages (no matter whether I installed them recently or many years ago) that were remove from testing more than a year ago are not shown. A good example: A package on my system that was removed from testing in 2013: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/devtodo Since March 2015 (sic) there's a debdiff fixing both RC bugs in #779551 > Regards, > T. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
