Why it’s listed: No update for 18 months, and tested up to WordPress 6.8. It has a wide contributor list, so a return is possible. It still saw 49,575 downloads in the 30 days before our check. Before you decide, check in your analytics whether AMP pages still bring visits.

Is AMP still maintained?

It has gone between one and two years without an update. That is an early sign, not a reason to move yet.

Quiet: No update for over a year.

Placements are our opinion, based on public evidence. Risk here means a plugin may not get a fix if a problem appears. It doesn’t mean we found a flaw, unless we show an advisory. Going quiet alone never puts a plugin in Replace now.
