What euphemism do you prefer then...

There's a difference between dead (i.e. "unmaintained") and low activity ("not under active development"). From what I can see PyPy is in the latter category (and being in that category does not mean it's going to die soon), so choosing to claim it is unmaintained is notable.

Being three major versions behind CPython is definitely not a great sign for the long-term viability of it.

I'm not sure "major versions" is the most correct term here, but I think your point is spot on

For Python, 0.1 increases are major versions and 1.0 increases are cataclysmic shifts.

I don't know about that. For me, f-strings were the last great quality-of-life improvement that I wouldn't want to live without, and those landed in Python 3.6. Everything after that has not really made much of a difference to me.

That's like saying the last tax that affected you was passed in 2006...

Undermaintained might be more suited since it does have life but doesn't appear commercially healthy nor apparently relevant to other communities.

Underphrased like a pro.
