the last release is Oct 16, 2022. are we doing this like jerseys - the name is now retired because pyx won all the championships?



That's barely 3 years...? I just released an update for a project I maintain that had had a 4 year gap between releases, but is still heavily used by a lot of people. I dread to think that we live in a world where software has arbitrary expiry dates...?

Some software just needs fewer updates. The actual repo had a few commits last year and even more the year before that.


Believe or not, some software can be ”complete”.


What are you suggesting? All packages do an annual release with a new beautiful section in their README to justify their existence?
