Given the number of cases of evil people getting access to computer systems, and the fallout of said attacks, any package left on a system after it no longer is being maintained is not only broken but a security risk.
Unless the process and the approach of "If it builds let's ship it" has not been changed over the years then the end user might be getting a package that is not actually being maintained in the distribution thus already is a security risk ( without it being flagged retired ) to begin with so arguably that problem needs to be solved first or at the same time as this.
I think people first need to establish what perception and thus meaning people put in the words retired,broken,maintained etc. before the proper course of action can be taken.
