Of course keep the address if the service still exists. But if that
service does not exist anymore, as you seem to imply, it might be a good
idea to put an answering robot on it explaining that situation.

And even if the service still exists, several members of the community
have now stated that it *is* confusing. It would be very easy to not use
that specific address as your personnal address, especially when you
interact on a GNU support media where bugs are discussed.

Thanks
