I don't think anyone's suggesting just removing them en mass, but removing them if upstream is gone, they don't build, and haven't been updated in a long time. In that situation, what would the reason be to keep them?
For example there might be some patches already applied which could help a possible future maintainer to bring the package back to life. And even if not, someone might find an application he needs through our search and then adopt it. I sometimes do it myself, instead of googling around for something, I go straight to yaourt -Ss with some keywords :). -- Pozdrawiam, Karol Woźniak aka Kenji Takahashi @ kenji.sx "Don't shoot the messenger."
