Not talking about that repo in particular, but...
on the other hand, putting stuff in own micro repositories is as swiping under
the carpet as leaving them in one of the main ones, if anything it ensures
even more that it will go abandoned and unnoticed.
If it's stuff that really nobody is even using and is safe to drop, that's ok
(would be even ok to just delete it tough)
but if is something that the user needs anyways and potentially causes
regressions in the experience, it has to stay, and in the place that goes the
least unnoticed.
Developers being confortable with it, or even (gasp!) being actively
maintained goes completely secondary behind the causing as less regressions as
possible for the users.
