Where's the bug reference one would normally expect to see with such an announcement? AFAIK, simply inactive upstream hasn't traditionally been enough to trigger removal, as long as the package still builds and has no serious bugs, and is still either legally mirrored and redistributable, or remains legally available from an otherwise inactive upstream. Of course if there's serious bugs (including that it's no longer available to build in the first place), that's an entirely different matter, but then there should be a reference to such bugs in the announcement/mask, and there was no such reference in this case. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
