An old colleague of mine said “Software decays over time”. This is a very true statement and applies to Chainsaw, just as it does to everything else. Java versions and dependencies become unsupported. Security bugs in dependencies get exposed. A project that just sits and never updates becomes untrustworthy due to all of these changing factors.
The problems isn’t “not removing links”, it is that there is always a cost to saying something is still supported even if no one is doing any actual work on it. The longer the code goes untouched the longer that “future cost” becomes. Eventually someone has to do something. If no one ever is going to then you might as well let users know it is never going to be maintained.
