At first sight, it looks like an easy-to-maintain package: no
dependencies, few users, stable API.

I tried to update it to 3.5.1 and was proved wrong though: there’s one
test failure in ‘tests/asn1object’ and the Internet doesn’t seem to know
how to address the problem.  So it would need a bit more work.

I’d lean towards keeping it and doing that extra work, collectively, but
I understand this very discussion shows that it’s debatable.
