So you claim that you _deliberately_ avoided migrating both xserver-test 
and xf86-video-p690, and that radeonhd was _accidentally_ missed?

Those not migrated repos stick out like sore thumbs on cgit.fd.o.

More people definitely would've noticed it. And i wonder how many of 
them decided to either not open up the can of worms, and avoid suffering 
the political consequences, or who somewhat revelled in the fact that it 
was not migrated. I have not trawled irclogs yet to see if anyone 
brought it up there, like what happened in 2010:
