Why? If I, as a user, really need a certain piece of software, I'd rather 
have an unmaintained package than none at all! Worst case, I can't use the 
package at all, in which case I'm still no worse off than with no package at 
all! (And now with my packager hat on, fixing and/or updating a package in 
the repo also requires less effort than unretiring a package which got 
removed.)
