No strong objections, just thinking that seeing the whole fallout after
the Sep 18 removals would give a clearer picture about the problem
scope, and could prevent someone from spending time on unorphaning and
fixing up something between Sep 11 and 18 only to notice that it will be
pruned anyway a few days later due to missing deps unless (s)he or
someone else picks them up too.

BTW, there will still be 3 weeks after Sep 18 until FC6 is out to deal
with things that need attention, I think that's plenty.
