Okay, with the slight difference that clearly they *can* do it:
removing a package is a trivial action. The question is really whether
they *want* to do it.

Okay, as long as their saying no would not immediately make them as
"bad" as the few packages they refuse to remove.
I still personally do not wish for them to remove those packages, and
I explained why earlier, but that's just me.
