Quoting Jean Louis <bugs@gnu.support>:
* Alfred M. Szmidt <address@hidden> [2019-09-03 21:26]:
The following GNU packages seem inactive for at least 5 years and are
at least (most probably) not part of Debian.
Neither of those are good metrics or reasons to decommision a package.
I also agree on that, there is no reason.
Software need not be updated all the time. Some software just
works.
Some maybe cannot be compiled due to some changes in compiler, then
such bug shall be reported.
It would be good that software is included in any distributions, that
is choice of distributions, but also could be promoted by anybody who
supports free software and GNU project.

Thanks,Jean Louis
I dont know if this is the right way reply
My idea is that the absent of those in a distribution (some of those are removed by Debian) might indicate stability issues or not usefull enough, so maybe there are better existing options.
(At least reftex is fully integrated in Emacs and some are just GNU meta pages.)
