Do you have a specific list of which package.xml files are invalid?

I'll grab 1.4.1 when it's out and run some tests, but as for using
package2.xml in practice I'm actually starting to remove these files from my

two package files (which contain the same information) is an unnecessary
piece of work in my case.
