I don't see any indication of you discussing this with the maintainers of
libnet-twitter-* or their reverse dependencies? 

I do not like this pattern of unannounced removal requests without
consulting maintainers. In these two cases I probably agree with the
intention, but not with the way you are going about it.

I also really dislike your recent habit of making discussions hard to
follow by opening new bugs. Please keep things in one place so everyone can
follow along.

NACK until the maintainers have chance to comment.
