A nummber of reasons: Resources: * storage space on fast storage instead of archives * mirror space * signing cycles * build cycles * compose cycles False sense of security: Something might be updated because the maintainer wants to keep it up to date there, but no one else does so 30 other things are inscure/broken, making users thing things are up to date when they are not. You would have to have some way to allow feedback/bug reports only to those people who are wanting to keep it alive, while not bothering people who don't wish to. kevin
