  Let's not propose gnome-python for removal, please :)
 
  I don't think it will hurt to propose pyorbit.  The problem with
pyorbit is that no one is really developing it.  This is partially due
to the overall change of strategy of GNOME wrt ORBit2.  But it works
well, and has few bug reports.  Even if not developed, it is rather
useful as is.

  Regards.
