March 24, 201610 yr I think the word 'dead' is just a bad use of the term here. In most if not all things, dead implies no longer functioning. A more accurate term would be 'no longer supported' or 'end of life'.

A more accurate term would be 'no longer supported' or 'end of life'. It's a matter of definition. When speaking of software "dead" just means "not supported" as you say. It's how it's understood in IT. Windows XP is "dead software" and is still the 5th most used OS, has even double the share of Linux (all distros).
