[sorry, accidentally hit Send too soon]

Can we create a "zombie / placeholder" status for those packages that need
to be kept as Xyne mentions: " Even if the PKGBUILD is an ancient relic
from the age of Judd in need of a complete rewrite, we tend to leave them
as placeholders." I just don't think it's feasible to maintain all packages
that were created once upon a time, since *anyone* can create a package on
AUR?
