And, honestly, this matter needs to be seen in proper perspective.
Sometimes a piece of software is relatively simple and well enough
debugged that it makes just as much sense to call it 'finished and
stable' as it does 'unmaintained'.

Another example is procmail. There's been no functional upstream for
quite a few years, and there are even IIRC two extremely non-credible
alleged security bugs open against it, and yet everyone who's willing to
put up with its idiosyncracies remains happy with it and keeps using it.
