[aur-general] input-wacom

[Edoardo Maria Elidoro]

Hi,
I wrote to the ex-mainteiner of input-wacom (
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=45001) asking if it's safe to
remove this out-of-date and orphan package.
Here's his answer:

For current 3.x kernel, it is useless, that's

So, shall we remove this package?

How should we deal with out-of-date packages that maybe someone still use?
(Question extended to kde3, xfce4.x - with x lesser then 8 and gnome2
related packages)

Cheers,
Edu
