That still is not a clear answer to my question.
What I meant was: the mere fact that some software is not maintained by
upstream anymore is that it is considered "finished", the upstream autor
is content with its state and has no desire for further improvement.
So again, the question, why is the fact that it's not maintained a good
reason for it to be removed from unstable?
