I would say that by now it seems to be a purely academical question - after a while
the bitrot itself is more than enough. If it's maintained by somebody, take that
question to those somebodies, whoever they are. I hadn't seen any indications that
it is, and that's literally all I'm trying to comment upon - *IF* it's been
unmaintained, it's almost certainly far past the point of no return due to bitrot.
