we have three categories for handling inactive packages, see $dec_messages:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/web/pecl/trunk/public_html/package-info.php?view=markup#l137
a few examples:
- http://pecl.php.net/package/mysql - currently
unmaintained, should be
superseded by the mysql ext/mysql
- http://pecl.php.net/package/Fileinfo -
superseded
- http://pecl.php.net/package/axis2 - abandoned
