Resend, to list this time, not just Lars.

Hi,
I'm not sure whether this has been given some thought yet.
But it seems that there's an awful lot of build power "wasted" to rebuild packages that don't have users (anymore), or a lot of _links around which are no longer used etc.
Is there possibly some way to prune them from blocking the rebuild power of the system?
Low-key solution: require that each "build & publish" bit is refreshed manually every N weeks?
Regards, Lars
Something similar was mentioned recently and I was one of several against it from a end-user perspective. At a minimum it should be download activity that marks a project inactive, not packager activity. Even better a lack of both downloads and packager activity would be the best indicator. ie. What if the project is stable and packager simply has nothing to do, but is useful and is getting downloaded. Why should the project no longer be built against the latest sources? Also, is there a way to significantly drop the priority of these packages in the build sequence instead of totally shutting them down? Maybe have a "green" server that does not generate lots of heat just for compiling these low priority jobs?
