My reasons for wanting them gone are:

* Ease of reviewing whether the PPA contains up to date versions across
all _supported_ series.

* Not providing an illusion of support for series we really cannot
support via a PPA any more, and probably wouldn't want to support anyway.


What do you think about creating a ~bzr/obsolete PPA, and moving
packages for EOL-ed Ubuntu series there?

Independently to that question, I'd _definitely_ like to delete packages
in non-supported series from ~bzr/proposed (some have been copied there).
