Description:
I think it would be good to notify users about deprecated projects before installation.

Additionally it would be good to also be able to query it via an API so it could also be visible in pacman and other 3rd party package installers.

E.g. xnoise is deprecated:
https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/xnoise/

Quote:
"Xnoise development has come to an end, because there is no developer working on this program.
The sourcecode is still available and may be forked under the respective license."
