Well, if they are still usuable, why would we remove them?
In the future, they might break for some reason (unfetchable, broken
with a new compiler version, not compatible with some dependency, etc.):
at this time, let's see if someone take time to fix them; if not, they
will be marked as deprecated, and then removed.
Moreover, many abandoned projects continue to live
in OS-local repositories. Debian have dozens (hundreds?)
of such packages, our ports also have some.
