We previously used the term retired to suggest that the package is
taking it easy and relaxing, but isn't dead. This causes a lot of
confusion so we now call this state "superseded" — we'll continue to
keep reshape2 (and reshape!) on CRAN, but they won't receive any new
features, and we believe that there are now better approaches to
solving the same problem.
