Alice-irc was a promulgated charm. the charm was unpromulgated, then deleted from Lp. Since ingestion does not reconcile its collection with the charm store or with Lp, m.jc.com continues to show the last version of a charm it saw. In the case of alice-irc, m.jc.com claimed it was promulgate/reviewed. It was not. Though it could be deployed from the command line, its quality was so bad that it was deemed safer to not let users discover it.
Consider the case where charms live for but a few days. The charm is forked, improved, then merged into the reviewed charm. From the VC perspective the branch has ended its life. The Charm is no longer of valuable since the value was transferred to long-lived reviewed charm.
At a minimum, ingestion needs to review/revise any charms in its collection that were not found during the phase to pull Lp branches. Ideally, ingest would reconcile with the charm store; ingest is duplicating what it thinks are the rules to enter the store. |

Bug #1178497 is related; currently there is no way to list all charms present in the store. |
