I don't think working software (even if not perfect, but what software is?)
should be dropped from the distribution like that, ESPECIALLY for software
like this that involves user data (programs in this case). You should at
least follow the normal orphaning process and give others a chance to pick
up the package.
I would also like to point out that as long as Scratch 2.0 depends on Adobe
Air, it is a no-go in a Free Software universe, and as such 1.4 is the
latest usable version.
