I follow Petteri's statement, I don't think we should remove a package just 
because it has noone maintaining it, and is just hanging below latest 
versions, without other reasons, else we should remove a good 90% of what we 
have in media-video and media-sound.

It's different if things accumulates bug over bugs, like xmms was, or are 
broken and unmaintained upstream.
