dlight: > maintenance not required Not to bikeshed too much but I'm not sure I love that phrasing. As you say, some degree maintenance is required. It just might be very infrequent. Admittedly I'm not entirely sure how to word it but "maintenance not required" sounds far too close to "abandoned" in effect. Whereas in this case the maintainer should still be responsive if serious bugs or security problems do surface.
