It should be noted, we did try to reach out to these package maintainers multiple times and they were either unresponsive or had emails bounce. We encourage anyone that is familiar with a package maintainer on this list to reach out to them and notify them directly. Packages can be un-deprecated if a maintainer fixes the package to build/check cleanly before the next release and requests un-deprecation on the bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list.

The following packages were previously announced as deprecated but had maintainers reach back out to fix the package. The packages are undeprecated and will remain in Bioconductor:

• MFPE
• MAIT
• safe
• omicade4
• GeneOverlap
• gage
• NOISeq
• omicRexposome
• PWMEnrich
• PWMEnrich.Dmelanogaster.background
• PWMEnrich.Hsapiens.background
• PWMEnrich.Mmusculus.background
