But since the project is a container image, most people don't visit a website or repo after they've implemented the container, so there's a pretty solid chance that posting a statement of "Hey, we're going to retire this thing - use this thing instead" isn't going to be seen and current end-users will end up sticking with a stale, unmaintained version that isn't good for them and doesn't reflect well on us, either. It also doesn't seem great to up and delete it and break stuff for others.

I have an interesting problem at work. We aren't using one of our #opensource projects any more, but metrics seem to indicate that others are. But since we don't track end users in any way whatsoever, we have no way of reaching out to whoever they are to see how disruptive it would be for us to pull the plug or even if it's used within our own org! It's not much overhead to keep going at this point, but it's not zero.
