Michael is just trying to make sure, we don't have a unmaintained major DE.
Now, some maybe a bit harsh words on the developer mailing list - this
is no user support list or forum or whatever - are far better, then
having something like xfce unmaintained.
After all, what makes users run away: some not all that courteous mails
on the -dev ml, whose existence they may or may not be aware of or a
perhaps buggy, not updated, unmaintained desktop?
And if we keep a whole DE unmaintained in the repos, what does that say
about overall package quality?
