Just to clarify, the official Apache Attic (https://attic.apache.org/) does not apply to a single module from within a project, it is only for use by an entire project that votes to dissolve. The use of a section heading on the website named 'Attic' or 'Retired' is completely different, has nothing to do with the Apache Attic and serves as a communication to users via the website.
+1 for communicating to users via the website to make it clear that Apollo is no longer under active development. +0 for making the repo read-only; I can take it or leave it because it will not provide any tangible impact to users.
