Only if there's any actual maintenance that needs to be done. Leaving
an old package alive on the branch (and ignoring it there) doesn't
cost any more than removing it, and it's better for people who want
some time to migrate or finish migrating.

Also theoretically we're supposed to announce package removals one
full quarterly branch ahead of actually doing them.

however, as far as I'm concerned it's ultimately up to you; if it
weren't for all the work you do we probably wouldn't have ruby
packages...
