I would actually do the opposite: we can put the libraries/frameworks that we are sure *are* active into the Active section and put everything else into Inactive. I have a feeling we'll be pretty close on the mark with our guesses; a quick look at the last upload date on Hackage should be sufficient. People are *much* more likely to move stuff from Inactive to Active than the other way around. We can also send out an email to the cafe/web-devel with a list of packages we plan to mark as inactive and see if anyone objects. If no one is willing to stand up for a package, odds are it's dead.
