Well we live (or most of us) in free countries, so feel free to worry about whatever you like ...
Jan being part of the review team is very well in a position to worry about 600 submissions incoming at the same moment.
I do see benefits in having LTS Haskell in Factory (and Backports as well) - so big thanks to everybody involved.
Well, let me shout out a big THANK YOU to Jan in this case who REVIEWS a huge bunch of those submissions! That is of course much appreciated and I would also like to thank Jan.
As he is personally involved in those 600+ submissions, he is very well in a position to doubt if this actually makes sense. What would be however much welcomed here, when raising such issue/starting discussion if it was a bit more technical and less emotional.
Apart from that comparing LTS Hackell to CPAN is strongly misleading as it is highly unlikely that obscure bit-rotten packages would end up there - and as far as I know no longer needed packages are being dropped once they loose their purpose.
Cheers

Btw my understanding is that bigger issue than haskell packages is actually size/activity/throughput of openSUSE review team - maybe it would be better to address this ... Cheers Martin
