Right, so it belongs in Fedora; I don't think anyone is arguing against that. There is a metric ton of packages that are dead upstream with very few (if any users). I feel that a lot of these types of package are getting auto-cleansed from the distro when they fail the automated rebuilds a few releases in a row, or when the original fedora maintainer gets sick of the bug-mails and simply orphans it. My mail was about crappy GUI applications that users install and then the application crashes, they report a bug or feature request, wait, and nothing happens as the upstream is long dead and there are going to be no more releases. We can include those in the distribution for very little "cost", but we shouldn't be advertising them in the software center among all the other awesome applications we have.
