<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Would it not be more real to call the menu and directory "Not active maintained" instead of unsupported. They were once actively supported and most/all ended up into trunk and might receive active support in the future again.
Unsupported modules to me are modules which do not work any more in a new version of asterisk and no one steps up to modify the module to support the new asterisk version. Which means it should be dropped from the trunk all together. But if every next version of asterisk someone steps up to change these unsupported modules so they are supported by the next version then we cannot call them unsupported.
As you said a module can receive active support in the future again and should then move back to it's original position again.
For deprecated modules I would like to see also a separate menu because it means that another module has token over the same functionality in respect of the previous one but the deprecated one is still doing it's business.

In order to make it more obvious for users which modules are deprecated or unsupported, I've modified menuselect to show modules in their own menu called "Unsupported Modules". This way as things are deprecated, or they no longer have a reasonable level of support, then they can be moved into this directory.
For modules that get moved here, but someone comes along to support the module, it can of course be moved back to a sub-menu where supported modules live.</pre>

I then selected a couple of modules from the directory. After running 'make' I verified only the modules I selected built. Everything looks as it should.</pre>
