    Libraries and APIs are a moving target. Eventually it won’t run on modern systems anymore without modification.

      Yeah, but if it hasn’t reached that point then is it really dead?

      Edit: Instead of downvoting me, consider this. What if the only update this program receives in years is one to make sure its still compatible with the libraries and APIs you refer to? Would that make it alive, or dead?

      It seems like you guys are advocating for updating just for the sake of updating, also bandwagoning a bit.
