[Pkg-javascript-devel] Please REJECT node-classnames, node-ifvisible.js, node-progressjs, node-simplestatemanager

[Daniel Ring]

Hello,

Are there any updates on this? I noticed that some of the packages
have been accepted into unstable after I sent the previous email;
is there a separate process I should use to remove them?

Sincerely,
Daniel Ring
