Just to make sure: I am not calling for "it is 10y old so we should drop it" just because it is 10y old.

It is more of let maintainers look is the package they maintain still useful, working, buildable, latest.

I am aware that Fedora packagers often maintain 200+ packages. I have no idea how they find time for it - I barely manage patching 10-20 per week (including riscv64 builds).


For example: I fixed InsightToolkit today. We have 4.13 version from 2020. Upstream works on preparing version 6.0 for release.

Or dpal - last version was 2.1.10 in December 2016. We use 2.1.9 one. I made it build on riscv64 port, sent PR to maintainer, skipped sending it upstream cause it looks like they ended working on it 9 years ago.

Etc, etc.
