Beagle, stable release 0.3.9 (no further development at the moment)

Galeon Discontinued 2.0.7  (September 27, 2008; 2 years ago)

The authority of these citations is questionable, but it is an

That is a judgement call. My personal criteria is "not packed in mayor
distributions". Maybe they are and the packages are there for good

it is difficult to distinguish between "new and hot" and "slowly dying"
in extras section.
