1) It's in the openSuse and Ubuntu repos.
2) The last change in the changelog at 
http://pkgs.org/opensuse-11.4/opensuse-contrib-i586/xabacus-7.4.1-1.2.i586.rpm.html 
is from 2008 what makes it 3 years old and not 14.
3) The last change in the changelog at 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xabacus/+changelog is from 2011 
what means it's still activly developed.

In any case I think that are exactly the reasons why we should have a 
discussion at the mailinglist before.
