A readme file for Dylan Araps from 3 days ago saying "have taken up farming" and the github page for neofetch has also been archived. Good for him I guess.

It was abandoned for years
Tbf what else would you want that to do? It was done
I mean, had it been rewritten in Rust yet?
There are always issues, new distros, detection improvements, etc etc. Neofetch has 11 PRs open this year alone.
I can't think of a single piece of software that's "done." Even T~E~X is only at version 3.141592653, not π.
There are some commonly used programming algorithms and snippets that have been in use and unchanged from their original C code since the 70s and 80s, because they do exactly the thing they are supposed to do, and nobody has come up with a better way of doing it. I have a fast hash function in a program of mine that was written by a guy in the early 2000s who was benchmarking various existing hash algorithms of the time, and that same function is still used in hundreds of other pieces of software.
I don't know of entire full programs that are like this though.
I know at least one pr that wasn't (still hasn't been?) merged for years; Proper 8-bit color sequence support.
