retire net/honeyd?

"Honeyd is a small daemon that creates virtual hosts on a network. The
hosts can be configured to run arbitrary services, and their personality
can be adapted so that they appear to be running certain operating
systems. Honeyd enables a single host to claim multiple addresses -
I have tested up to 65536 - on a LAN for network simulation. Honeyd
improves cyber security by providing mechanisms for threat detection and
assessment. It also deters adversaries by hiding real systems in the
middle of virtual systems. "

Not updated since 2007 and it says, "Because Honeyd interacts with
potentially malicious adversaries, you should sandbox it with Systrace".

Is there any reason to keep it?
