I think it may depend on the type of package, for some SIGs at least I
think auto-retiring a needed working package is also rather frustrating
since it generates extra work for the SIG to recover that package.
Talking of which I just filed two review requests for ghc-fgl (which I had
untired last year) and ghc-setlocale:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1678684
which will unbreak xmonad and darcs. :-)
