I've been pondering lately about the current state of depcheck. Several times 
someone asked about its incorrect results (mainly when it said "failed" and 
everything was OK) and I needed to reply "sorry". I still think it is more 
often right than wrong, but does it make sense to keep it around in its current 
state? We don't work on it, we don't understand its internals properly, we know 
its architecture is flawed. Maybe it's time to put it to rest?

Some people read its results, but how many have we discouraged from doing so? 
I'm afraid that many of them.
