I am aware of unicode-math, but that is different, since it was - as you
said - under heavy development. And thus it makes sense to postpone
wider distribution.

Have you a real example of a package uploaded *unchanged* for >=3 years?

Anyway, no need to discuss this further ;-)

Indeed, but as I said before, I would have expected an updated README or
whatever changes to make it more "obvious".

Probably yes.
But, most importantly, I am NOT objecting to the upload at all, I was
just suprised seeing it ...

Best regards
