I don't see "maintained" as a significant part of the decision. To me the question should rather be whether it's still working, and whether the code is still useful (either as a basis for other code, or for end-users). I've added to GNU ELPA some packages specifically because they were unmaintained but still in use (psgml and filladapt come to mind). Stefan
