Better to deprecate it before it becomes broken, in my opinion.
Having someone willing and able to review and merge changes is the best criteria for whether a module is still supported or not.

We could be even bolder and officially deprecate "cmd" and consider closing open enhancement issues for it on b.p.o."
FWIW, the pdb module depends on the cmd module.
Also, I still teach people how to use cmd and I think it still serves a useful purpose. So, unless it is considered broken, I don't think it should be deprecated.
