I never liked this metaphor, I think software graduating to this level of maturity should be celebrated! The challenges are there might not be any "easy" tasks to cut your teeth on or "shiny" development work to attract new contributors. In that way I can see software "dying" due to lack of maintainers.

We need to change our view of meaningful maintenance / stewardship of mature code to be more positive.
