Not true. A package that appears to work, has people using it, but has
no one maintaining it is likely to become a package that has exploitable
security issues.

I'm in favor of retiring unmaintained packages. At worst, it will
encourage someone to step up to re-add it if it is actually important.
This means a new package review, which is a good thing for dealing with
"specrot".
