Another concern in this proposal is that the package dependency isn't considered. What if a dropped package is required by lots of other packages? The warning should be reached to all these relevant packages; otherwise you'll bust the build of all of them out of sudden.
Of course, it is considered. Factory maintainers won't let you remove package which has alive dependency (BuildRequires or Requires, both).
Last but not least, IMO, two weeks are too short for such a transition. One may have a vacation for two weeks easily if living in Europe :)
Well, I guess the best protection against removal is to show some signs of life in the package. If package has not been touched in the last two years (https://is.gd/lCVFbz and the last upstream release in Jul 13, 2015), my restraint against removal is significantly lower.
