I never implied that it would guarantee any more package attention that's an
assumption you made
so what is the benefit then in propose drop packages where *upstream not* every
2-3 years starts a complete rewrite with only half of the features, a lot of
bugs and regressions to qualify the next 3 years updates and after all the mess
is fixed start the next rewrite to qualify "ongoing development" for a
lifetime?
if it ain't broken don't fix it!
