That lack of concrete plans is a good place to start. Anyone from the community who opposes retirement should take it up on themselves to provide such a concrete plan for example in time for next month's report. Just like the caster of a technical veto should come up with an alternative implementation. :-) As an example of how this can play out, see the way we asked Kitty to provide such a plan [1] when some members of the community opposed the idea of retirement. In Kitty nobody stood up to the task, so a few months later the final decision to retire the project was a pretty easy one to make. Another example with a different outcome is JSPWiki that had a similar discussion at the beginning of the year, and actually a few members of the community did start working through all the issues and have now produced their first Apache release and seem to be on a path towards graduation even though the project is still far below its past activity.
