The problem is that sometimes a package is out-of-date but can't be updated
for various reasons.

I don't see the relevance to the point this seemed to be a response to.
That package may be hard/impossible to maintain, true - but separate
flags for 'out of date', 'broken', 'wont compile' wouldn't aid that
situation any.  In fact they might make it worse.


I was responding to auto-orphaning of all packages, even the ones that aren't out-of-date due to maintainer negligence, not specifically about having just one flag.
