The reason I do not want to remove them and would rather mark them as defunct is that founders or companies have put time and effort into creating a PR. I would not just delete stuff but rather do due diligence on their status occasionally.

I would argue all products that people put effort into, build, try to market, and put in front of people are awesome.

People make PRs, I review them, and many a time companies themselves have categorized them in the PR. You can argue with me that they don't fit, but many a time these companies or the founders choose the categories.

I like the historical parts of it with defunct (like dotCloud became Docker). From my space (PHP cloud) a couple of historical ones are missing: Pagoda Box (now merged into DO), CloudControl, PHP Fog, AppFog … But those are gone for a while now.
