I think there is problems with some docs that are just silently
abandoned. They are unmaintained in a sense, but nobody knows that, so
they don't get labeled as such. I would suggest adding something
like:
Any document that has not been updated in the past year, is subject to
review...blah...
And then dump to unmaintained, or archive or wherever.
