why python-sqlobject/python-formencode was removed?

Hello,

python-sqlobject and python-formencode are dependencies of package blink on AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/blink).

I noticed that packages are removed from arch repo:
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … 38689a0498
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … 9f03dea99c

I believe this decision was related to "import cgi", but looks like python-formencode already solved this: https://github.com/formencode/formencod … 6ae916dbab

I tested package blink with these packages and they are working.
Should I create AUR packages for python-sqlobject and python.formencode or it is possible to put back these packages on extra repo?

Thanks in advance.

Libraries that are not needed by anything else in the repos are rarely kept. Add them to the AUR if you need them.
