Hmm. I'd prefer to see that differently - the presumption should be that the
code should be ripped out unless somebody steps up and (a) protests and (b) is
seen to demonstrate willingness to maintain the code. I don't see any value
in keeping broken code in the tree otherwise. If someone wants it back in the
future, it will still be in the repository (just not visible on the head).
Otherwise, we're all tiptoe-ing around trying not to offend people who
probably don't exist & if they do are much more interested in other stuff.
