    initial v1  
    11I've been meaning to suggest something a bit similar ... A ''withdrawn'' notification ... Sometimes a pack becomes outdated, unnecessary or gets merged with other packages and is no longer supported and may even cause incompatabilities if it stays ... If possible when a package is removed .. (depot page deleted or package number becomes unavailable or a package is unpublished .. 1 of these) the user gets a notification that this packaged has been withdrawn and maybe ask them if they'd like to delete it (on condition he has it downloaded in the first place)
    22This can be extended for what iritscen is saying .. The package is withdrawn .. User gets notified to remove it ... And then it can be reintroduced with a different number or node page or whatever.
    3 Also maybe AEI can take the depot page number as reference to identify mods instead of the package number field .. Since deleting nod pages is now restricted to the moderators there's less chance that the nod page number would change than a package number change.

     41 problem i can think of with the previous number field .. The package let's say has been renumbered .. The old number becomes free .. It can't be used again by another package if it keeps overwriting it with the package that has  previousnumber, so we'll have to keep track of all numbers ever used even if they are withdrawn.
