Please go to the discussion about that as @Niek-de-Wilde suggested. It is very off topic here.

I am not sure how its off-topic when i am making argument for keeping picocrypt still listed on PG ,as still in par with the standards applied to other products in the same category.

Maybe you should go over my post again to understand its relavance.

Thanks

Look, there are 3 seperate topics here.

  1. Picocrypt is no longer being maintained, our requirements require that they have to be maintained > Picocrypt is being removed.
  2. You may argue that we should build in a buffer for the above mentioned requirement, thats fine and we can discuss that, but that will have to get its own seperate post where we can discuss it and decide, for as long the requirement has not altered, Picocrypt still had to be removed.
  3. You argue that openpgpchain is not maintained, maybe it have to be removed, then the proper course is to open up a post for its removal just like a post was opened for Picocrypt.

We have to maintain the forums structure and rules, else its gonna be hell for people to figure out why something has been removed/added/altered because they have to search information in posts that aren’t even about the product or service they are looking for.

I am not saying your point is invalid. I am just pointing out that this is not the place to discuss it, not with these arguments, atleast.

PG will Remove Picocrypt in favour of Picocrypt-NG, no argument, no cap, no nothing.

Picocrypt-NG is literally the same Picocrypt (fork), no reason not to remove Picocrypt when the NG fork exists.
