Pull request overview
Updates the deprecation/sunset runbook to clarify that low-activity (“quiet”) repositories are not presumed abandoned, and that deprecation review should weigh maintainer intent, consumer usage, and replacement availability rather than age or issue volume alone.
Changes:
- Adds explicit guidance that stable/quiet repos trigger review, not automatic deprecation/archival.
- Expands “Step 1 — Decide and record” to require documenting stability intent vs. true unmaintenance, plus replacement availability.
- Keeps the existing migration-first sunset flow intact while refining the decision signals.
