I agree. In this particular case I am more worried that the original
submitter (and the person listed in DEVELOPERS) has not done anything to
keep it uptodate since it was submitted 2.5 years ago.

Given how important security fixes are for this package and how we have
limited resources for security support, I would also prefer to remove
the package unless someone steps up to maintain it.
