What's the plan about the lists this week? I think it would be nice to
put some rough lists to the wiki first, and then modify them step by
step. 

I have also created a script to generate list D by using Prarit's
'thetango' (Thanks Prarit, all the hard things here have been done by
'thetango'). It takes a packages list as an argument and the output is a
list of packages which depend on them either directly or indirectly. So
we can use the list A, B, C as input and generate the list D. There are
66 pakages failed with dependency issues given the arch excluded
pakcages as input. Since we have moved on to the F9-cycle, I'd like to
give it a try on rawhide before send it out. 

Thanks, 
Yi
