I have an unmaintained section in games grimoire.
I should rename mine games-unmaintained then the main grimoire could have one
also. Dead projects should go into this section, ones deprecated by a newer
release(galeon,evolution etc) should be removed in my opinion unless another
spell explicitly depends on it (like fftw2) and then it should go into
unmaintained.
The definition of unmaintained needs to be decided though or lazy guru's will
put spells in there to save having to fix them for new compiler releases or
other simple reasons.
I (wrongly or rightly) hold the opinion that if someone made a spell, it must
be useful so it shouldn't be unmaintained unless the project is dead, spells
like those in gnome1-apps should be removed if they have a gnome2 equivalent.
Bugs for any other reason should be fixed. If the guru lacks the time or
skills they should open the bug to other people and ask for help on IRC.
I do also find it acceptable if the guru passes the buck to the author of an
active project and we wait for the author too fix the bug.
But i definitely think "unmaintained" needs to be defined before half our
spell end up in this "new" section.
