Bug#1081592: Should tpot be removed from unstable?

[Christian Kastner]

Control: severity -1 normal
Control: retitle -1 RM: tpot -- RoM; rc-buggy
Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:tpot

I agree with Helmuth. This package always remained at single-digit
popcon so was pretty low on my TODO list. Simultaneously, it has a set
of dependencies, which always have the potential to generate maintenance
work -- as this numpy RC bug here.

Users can always grab the version from PyPI, and I look forward to
TPOT2, upstream's rewrite of TPOT.

Best,
Christian
