Hi, Since it's been coming up recently, I'm proposing a change to the compat policy, where removing the use of unmaintained/unsupported upstream dependencies is an automatic exception.
This was brought up by Glyph in https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/5137#comment:11 -- hotshot is broken, unsupported, and unmaintained, and removing something that doesn't work in the first place should be able to be done automatically. This was also the case with PyPAM -- it didn't even seemingly exist, so the Twisted support code couldn't work at all. So, this email is to get general comment on the scope and possibility of such a change. I believe it would be a worthwhile addition to the policy. Amber "Hawkie" Brown GPG: https://keybase.io/hawkowl
