    there should be some kind of notification system whenever something goes unmaintained. ive used unmaintained software for way too long before finding out theres some fork.

      On arch’s user repository, packages can get marked as out of date, unmaintained, and sometimes removed entirely.

      As long as it works perfectly and it makes no security related headlines, i’m fine with running abandoned ware.

      If something stops working it’s time to find out the alternatives.

      Not every little tool needs weekly updates

        That means Windows XP is perfectly okay as abandon ware, becuase it makes no security related headlines. :p (just joking!)

          Hackernews is usually reliable to see what the new hotness is. But yeah this is a frequent problem.
