If someone wants to help keep it up, I'm happy for it to stay up.

Otherwise, I'm equally happy to drop (hide) it.

IMV while it is a neat little interactive widget we have on the website,
I'm not sure if it is providing any value to our users at this point,
even if it were kept up to date.

Yeah, I doubt there is much value even if we do keep it maintained. And right now when it's not being maintained, it adds zero or even negative value.

+1 for dropping it.
