[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Remove or move old packages in SVN?

Hi,

Some packages in the SVN are not maintained anymore or are obsoleted.
Two examples are gnudatalangauge (maintained outside) and ufsparse.

Could these be moved into an own directory (e.g. oldpkgs or oldlibs or
similar) or be removed from the SVN? I just would like to have a better
organizing of these 2.5GB repository. It would make it easier to check,
which packages really need maintenance. I normally would suggest a
top-level structure of

- old (only stable/oldstable)
- packages (in Debian)
- wnpp (not yet in Debian/ITP)

and maybe (see my other mail some days ago)

- tags/{package1,package2,....}

I'm just helping in this packaging group, but maybe you agree to my
thoughts. Please feel free to comment and/or object.

Regards, Daniel
