Hey everybody. This is sort of a late response to this discussion but I have been busy so it couldn't be before now. I share the concern of Djihed and I don't think that it is a good solution to rely on people probably knowing what not to touch. I think an "obsolete" or "nearly obsolete" release set would be a good solution for those modules whose progressive development (these may still release but only for bug fixing) has stopped because they have been replaced.
