I'm saying that obsolete Lisp packages shouldn't be removed from the
distribution just because a certain degree of time has passed.

And secondly, perhaps even the ones that people "are not using" could be
left as-is, without maintenance.

They could still be useful in the future.  Someone might decide to
resurrect them, and some other unaccounted for person might still be
using them.
