I'd probably leave it there until it is actually broken, but the problem with stuff like this is that it is almost impossible to tell if it actually is broken, since none of the devs have access to the distfiles. As a result it probably makes sense to be more aggressive about treecleaning non-free software if it doesn't have an active maintainer. Rich
