Right, sorry, that was my "dj as a red hat employee" response, not my
"dj as a maintainer" response. The pattern is this: we ask if
anyone's using a target, if either (1) nobody says they are, or (2)
someone knows why the target is there and can explain why it isn't
needed, then we take it out. In this case, I knew RH was using it so
I spoke up. If anyone else spoke up for their targets, we would have
kept those as well. Usually, of course, Stan tells us the sordid
history of the target and we all agree to remove it ;)
Obviously, if there's a benefit to removing something RH still needs,
well, that's RH's problem. If we (RH) can't justify it to the net
community, we (RH) will just have to figure out a way to deal with it.
Sorry for the confusion.
