hi Ulf, It can be marked: - superseded . a package is replaced by another, in another channel or from a core extension. Still maintained but it is recommended to use the package replacement. - not maintained anymore . extension does not any active maintainer. Point to the take-over page if one likes to take the hand on it - abandonned . not sure what is all about as it is redundant with the previous two states. I will drop that one and move the packages (if any) to one of the other states. There is no "abandonned" state, or whatever it means. Only problem is that such a package is still install-able without notice from pecl/pear. New web site will remove the installer info so that one will have to install it manually and force the install (especially for cases like PDO for example).
