Hi, I agree with basically everything said, and I think "breaking" packages with no maintainers (after the next stable branch-off, 14.0x?) would be really good to make it obvious what is broken and is a candidate for removal. It would also give people a chance to adopt a package they use before it is removed.

At least by scheduling such bumps at times when they are going to be available for consulting, if nothing else.
