I would say that compared to some contexts, 4 years is not that long for
an emacs package to be static. On the other hand, cycle-quotes is not in
melpa, and it has pretty low popcon numbers, so it isn't hugely popular.
I guess I would be inclined to just let it get removed
semi-automatically when the release team notices it has been out of
testing for a while.
