Moving this to obsolete/ does not make it mandatory for anyone to do
anything. It is not within our power to do that; one of the freedoms
granted by the GPL is to run the program for any purpose.

I can't see what this has to do with the principles of Free Software.
AFAIK, nowhere in the GPL, the GNU Manifesto etc. does it say that it is
contrary to the spirit of free software to make useless features
obsolete.
> Is there any other, more modern method we support to respond to spam?
Yes, I listed some of them in my previous reply. Not that I understand
why this is pertinent, as we have already established that doing that is
useless and/or harmful.
