Your liberty to think this.

How do you call SW that relies upon x years old bugs? 
I call it poorly maintained. 

How do you call projects who stick with antiquated tools and ignore many
years of development? I call them poorly maintained.

Or differently: Upstream projects which stick with these antiquated
versions are as poorly maintained and dead as projects written in KnR or
projects staying with gtk-1. - These projects have had many years to
update their code ... and failed. Now they've got to learn the hard way.
