Maybe we can add "end-of-life" versions to extensions?

So if we have versions x.y.z-alpha and x.y.z-beta before x.y.z , maybe we can also have x.y.z-abandoned and/or x.y.z-unmaintained at the other end?

So anyone installing such will habe better chance to notice.

That of course implies that the repository maintainer would be the one to re-release the latest version with -unmaintained at the end when this happens.
So when it is picked up again, the maintained version needs to get a version pump  
 

And we could make them also sort after normal versions in pg_ssemver and in postgres_debversion and pg_debver :)
