Pathalogic desupported for Drupal 5

So Pathalogic is no longer supported on Drupal 5:

The Drupal 5 version of this module is no longer being supported. You may submit patches and issues for it if you'd like, but the Drupal 6 release is going to receive the majority of my attention. Time to upgrade, folks…

Now if only it was that simple. However there are several modules that my various site are dependent upon that have not been converted to Drupal 6 yet. I'm looking at you project, among others. Personally I'm quite patient, and am happy enough to wait till these things are ready.

So I could leave the module active and upgrade to Drupal 6 when I can. There is a problem with this however. The Update Status module will constantly report that I have an "Unsupported release". Which means that I will receive a steady stream of alert emails telling me to do something for the site. I won't know, without manually checking the status page, if there are any security updates needed. This leads to ignoring the alerts and possibly missing a critical security update.

Not good.

And Pathologic? Not that critical to be honest. I think I can live without it.

I've disabled the module and my Status Report is all green again.

When I can eventually upgrade to Drupal 6 will I use Pathologic again? Not if I haven't missed it. Chances are I will have forgotten all about it by then.

Bad move on the module developers part methinks.
