It was probably me. But others need to consider those who do the testing. I 
suspect that what has happened here is that somebody has published a package 
directly to the repo and the maintainer has not marked the one in Kahinah 
either already published or superseded. In this case its not obvious to the 
tester that the one he installs for testing is not the version in kahinah and 
thus if it installs and works and has expired there is no reason not to 
publish. Kahinah does not check for a later release because no packages should 
be pushed directly to a released repository.  I realise that sometimes it's 
necessary to push packages in an emergency and in this case a QA maintainer 
will do this if asked. It's also possible to push a package to kahinah and to 
the main repo and to the testing repo if the one in kahinah is marked "already 
published"  then this serves as a signal to the tester that such an action has 
been taken. crisb does this and we have no problems.     
I will ask Robert Xu if he can modify kahinah to check for for supercession 
but because kahinah periodically polls abf this will not be guaranteed to 
catch every instance.
Best,
Colin
