This is the third autoremoval message I see for cernlib and geant. Are we
really going to let this happen?  I thought cernlib and geant (maybe only
geant4?) are in heavy use at CERN and there are some DDs at CERN?  I am not
using this software myself, but I think there would be a lot of unhappy
users if this were removed (and a lot of happy users if geant4 were added to
the archive).
