I thought I should take a peek in hopes too, but just in case, not being 
paranoid /much/, but like to have a bigger fan ready just in case! ;^>

Maybe we should work on publishing package adoption priority lists e.g.

1 Base 1.1 crypto-policies 1.2 alternatives
2 Build 1.1 cocom (now dino) 1.2 git-archive-all 1.3 robodoc 1.4 bzip2
	1.5 docbook... [lots of Unmaintained pkgs and deps]
3 Base direct deps
4 Build direct deps
5 Base indirect deps
6 Build indirect deps

I stopped once I looked at docbook...sob...! ;^>
