Yes. We also need to set maintainers' expectations right: experimental is a
volatile place.

I'm trying to think of a reason why older versions of packages in
experimental/ shouldn't be removed automatically, and I can't think of a
good one.


Last time we talked about it it was felt too intrusive to just delete
stuff. Currently files
are only deleted if they are identical to the released packages. If we have
consensus
I can add the removal instead of the note any time. Just delete older
packages or also
identical name but other checksum?


Best regards
