From b9c16396d656a21e9fb78e7e52162c1fc8cc81a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elod Illes Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2021 20:04:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Remove 'Unmaintained' phase During Xena Virtual PTG on the Technical Committee session there was a discussion, that the 'Unmaintained' phase is not really clear for the community and just creates confusion.
