But who will after which timeframe retire the package? The current best 
practices are to retire packages that are considered not to be useful anymore 
to make this obvious for other interested maintainers. E.g. then the 
package's devel CVS directory will contain a dead.package file that explains 
why it is not useful anymore. If a package is only orphaned, then this means, 
that there is currently nobody available that want's to maintain the package, 
but the package would still be useful.

Till
