I think it is enough to simply put on the package page: "This package is no longer supported. Use at your own risk. The current version of this package is found in Foo_v2"
I think any warning of this sort should say "depreciated," since "no longer supported" brings up memories of Microsoft's tech support and Windows 95. The developers (or at least some of them) are likely to still help you with the older version and release bug fixes, but new development has been frozen. -- Marshall Roch http://pear.php.net/user/mroch
