The remaining FE6 package repository cleanups are planned for Wednesday
4th Oct evening (UTC +3):

- Removal of orphaned packages in the repository, if any.

- Removal of packages with broken dependencies.

Sometime at end of this week, hopefully before CVS is branched for FC-6,
the CVS devel branch of orphaned packages will be cleaned up and marked
with dead.package.

There's a bunch of newly orphaned packages as of today which haven't
been removed from the repository nor are in Extras/OrphanedPackages page
in Wiki yet.  Given that this happened so close to when things were
supposed to be ready for FC6 and that their removal would break quite a
few packages, some alternatives to just removing them are being
discussed - more info about that later.  But these packages are looking
for a new maintainer anyway (effectively since two weeks ago):
