I'm saying that obsolete Lisp packages shouldn't be removed from the distribution just because a certain degree of time has passed. And secondly, perhaps even the ones that people "are not using" could be left as-is, without maintenance. They could still be useful in the future. Someone might decide to resurrect them, and some other unaccounted for person might still be using them.
