Wait, is there any more information on why the current [linkme github repo](https://github.com/dtolnay/linkme) is archived? I don't see any recent commits that say anything about this.

(Edit: OK and inventory is also archived. I'm guessing this is because of recent issues, but I think it's a best practice to at least do a final push to the `README.md` describing _why_ the repo is archived; and ideally a link to a discussion area or issue. Without that people are left trying to find another communication channel outside the repo (like this one))
