[Mageia-dev] Upgrade report : orphans, tainted software, remaining mdv packages

I upgraded my system using the boot.iso,

First, I did a long orphans cleaning, checking them one by one in order to see 
if some useful packages would be removed by error... 

Among them, libreoffice, for which I opened a bug report, and x11 input and 
video drivers for virtualbox, which prevents X to start if removed. 

I noticed that my plf vlc was replaced by vlc in core, which has less codecs 
AFAIK. This is perfectly normal from RPM point of view, but leads to a 
question : will the tainted media be on by default during upgrade ? My opinion 
is the best from the users's point of view is to ask the question : "do you 
want to install software from the 'tainted' media, which contain useful 
software which can be subject to legal issues in some countries (codecs, dvd 
decoding...) ?". What is planned in this regard ?

After removing the various orphan packages, here is the list of remaining 
mandriva packages on my system :

Must I open a bug report for each (and yes, I know, I can import part of them 
myself :)) ?
