These -- being "too old" (BSD's hack is much older, BTW) or "superseded" -- 
aren't valid reasons in my opinion. As long as a package keeps building -- and 
there were no problems with it, when db2 was removed -- it should not be 
deleted. Ever. Even the maintainer (who does "know best", how to maintain it) 
can't remove it -- only disown it.
