there's also the obvious parallel to software.
they're never done. or, rather, if they no longer get changes or improvements, they've probably reached EOL.

Depends on the purpose of the software. If it's a focused library then the perceived stagnation might actually be feature completion
no bugs in the library? no new feature requests?
I used to think more along those lines, but less so now. I cannot really think of a library I actively use that doesn't get any changes to it.
But I also won't be surprised if this is true for some. Do you have a good example?
zlib went more than 5 years without a release, and is heavily used.
