Notes for whoever makes use of this pad to make changes:

    Don't just copy and paste in large slabs of "forget" or "no" commands -- dpkg will end up ignoring you

    You are limited to 4 or 5 "forget" per day per hostmask -- you can do some on freenode and some on oftc. Exceeding this gets you ignored by dpkg for several days. When dpkg says "Stop abusing forget" it means it.

    There is an unknown limit on queries to dpkg in general and exceeding that results in "Too many queries from you, ignoring for 5 minutes." Batch the "rename"s and "no"s into smaller chunks so even if you get ignored, you easily know which ones weren't processed yet.

    Perhaps use the strikethrough feature of titanpad to record what has been done.

    If you think of other factoids that need updating, please add them to this pad -- we'll keep a copy of this pad around a starting point for the Stretch release editing :)
