I would temper the above suggestion to cover deprecation. Scripts that work but are not representative of current standards and have been replaced should be considered deprecated. Deprecated scripts may receive bug fixes if necessary, but should not be recommended (new installations should use whatever replaced with. Deprecated scripts should not be overhauled significantly to the point where a major version bump could be considered.

Older scripts that should not be used but are potentially in use would be covered under this amendment. Scripts that are broken by an update and need significant changes would not.

Essentially:
 * If it's old and isn't broke, don't touch it
 * If it must be touched because it is broken, do as little as possible and ensure no breaking changes are introduced
