Hello all,
now that xfce 4.14 is well on its way to Factory I wanted to put together a summary of things left to do:
1) Finish the plugin renaming: Once the renamed plugins land in Factory delete requests to the old packages need to be made and after they have been deleted from Factory deleted from X11:xfce as well
2) Remove Leap 42.3 repo
3) Remove old and abandoned packages Discontinued by xfce upstream: gtk-xfce-engine, xfce4-icon-theme, xfwm4-themes, thunar-vfs, squeeze
Other abandoned packages: xfce4-netspeed-plugin, gtk2-theme-nimbus, gtk2-theme-murrine
Please let me know if you have any concerns or I missed anything.

It's still working for me. But no context menu to configure and others…
I can live with letting the *-plugin packages stick around a little longer, do not though that xfce upstream plans to drop GTK2 support completely, which will likely break those if they do not get ported in the mean time.
Moin,

again, please don't wipe all built packages, just disable building for 42.3 so that the packages are still available... Thx!

Okay then.
I suspect that the Repo will become inconsistent as soon as we finish 1) though...

Delete request to Factory has been done.
Just a short update for completeness sake:
1) and 3) are now done with the exception of the netspeed-plugin
That leaves 3) 42.3 Repo
