We've discussed this on-and-off at OE developer meetings for a while now. FWIW 
I can remove them manually - actually I just got around to deleting meta-
picosam9 which has been unmaintained for years.

Part of the problem though is determining what "rotten" actually means. 
Additionally, there's an element of leaving things around in case someone 
comes to fork/revive them again. We do show a "last updated" date but it would 
be good to figure out some other way of determining and indicating "layer 
health" - to date I don't think we've managed to figure out anything practical 
for that.

Cheers,
Paul
