Good point. I would hesitate to re-use maintained too many times to reduce confusion. What about simply introducing a new state "Deactivated"?

"Deactivated" is a step down from unmaintained, but before obsolete. If users come and require a deactivated package, this package may change back into "unmaintained" (or in paradise, even "Maintained") state.
