There are tons of sw in Debian without an active upstream and some
of them are also orphaned or so. If those programs work I see no
reasons to force removing. Of course, when valid alternatives comes
out they are progressively abandoned by users and they
become candidate for removing, but that's a slow process. I don't
think noteedit is among those ones now, on the basis of previous
messages.
