Debian Developers Figuring Out Plan for Removing More Unmaintained Packages

When consumer culture infects engineering, it leads to pointless effort when security isn't an issue but the motivation is instead "new and shiny" rather than "it works but doesn't suffer from continual churn of minimal value, code bloat, the risks of large code changes for new features, or the churn of radical rewrites". Code that works now doesn't magically cease to work at any point in the future due to lack of "maintenance"; it's only when the assumption that all off its dependencies and tools must break it by design leads to an artificial need for maintenance. It's really a jobs program without adding significant new value.
