Almost each and every package is available under Debian.
<snip> The Debian project also has a very long list of orphaned packages and packages up for adoption. http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/rfa_bypackage http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/orphaned Anyway, what other distros do is not necessarily our concern. Fact is that there are not enough maintainers. I do agree that a list for orphaned packages in openSUSE would be nice. This should probably be generated once a month and maybe packages that have not found a home in 6 month get dropped. Having a counter next to an orphaned package indicating how much time is left before the package gets dropped would be nice. Maybe a "popup" during install could inform people installing an orphaned package that the package is on the orphaned list and might be dropped soon.
