Let's face it: noone cared about that package for most than ten years,
not even for those features you mention, so it means noone is interested
in using that package.
So if you do not use it, don't bother expanding the time to update it.

"Quite a few" is probably the best understatement of the year (and it's
only March!). ;-)
So I'd side with Peter here: drop it, and then drop the virtual package.
