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.
