So if I understand you correctly, the 3.4 packages only exist for 
packages that have been deprecated, and you think this is all right 
because we're unlikely to change these packages before the 3.4 release? 
Or do you mean the removal of these packages is ok? I can read what you 
wrote either way. :)

Anyway, whatever you meant, I consider the current situation to be 
confusing. The rule should be never to upload packages of a version 
newer than what we're actually going to release next. I would therefore 
still request the 3.4 packages to be removed.

I realize that eventually the individual package versions might start 
running independently from each other. We will discuss that when we get 
to it, though.
