To give some perspective about the level of maintenance that
fallback-only modules receive currently, here's some numbers:

                              commits since 3.0.0     non-translation

gnome-panel           379                             112
metacity                 145                               33
notification-daemon   97                               17

Effectively, these modules are very close to unmaintained already.
