If an extension does not work with at least one version of MediaWiki that's receiving security support, then there is no reason for it to be easily discoverable. Let it die, make the only place with any mention of it a simple list of abandoned extensions that's not indexed by search engines and stop give those coming here from Google search or following links false hope.

The experience of following link after link after link to abandoned is extremely frustrating, and reflects ppoorly on the MediaWiki ecosystem as a whole, even if the core developers bear no responsibility.

WordPress does this by excluding from search those plugins that have not been updated within two years. It's hard to do that with the current system of extension searching being just the same as the normal site-search. Phab:T118188 is probably of interest.
