Like i use an older version of android and every new app on fdroid works for me and keeping the main repo full of abandonware isn't a good idea and will hold fdroid back on being a good app store . And its not like the apps are deleted or anything if someone needs them for whatever reason they can find it on archive and not everyone have to load it all when using the main repo which is better for users and those who host mirrors as most of do use the newer apps instead of abandonware and Is there a specific reason they do this ?

I asked this on their IRC but i didn't get any reply and then i got logged out and IRC doesn't show previous chats is there any way to get in touch with them as i think doing this will benefit everyone . I don't have much experience using gitlab and i don't think that is the place to discuss things like that . Also if anyone could get in touch with them about this and keep me updated that'll be appreciated as i am trying to keep my internet accounts small and don't wanna make a github or matrix acc solely for this so if anyone could help that'll ve appreciated. Also does fdroid have any presence on lemmy ?

The old apps i was talking about from top of my mind :

Anysoft keyboard : malayalam, GL TRON, Open Wnn legacy, random ass chinese named keyboard idk how to type it , wifi keyboard, Tibetin keyboard etc. there is a lot so i can't type all of em out.

EDIT : I am talking about unupdated apps not old apps whuch are still updated.

EDIT : No one is asking to wipe the apps from all existence just merely asking to move them to archive where its more suitable and so all of us don't have to load all of it when using the main repositery .
