at least at this point in time, I (as somebody having contributed to 
LibreOffice Android Viewer during the last year) wouldn't see Android 
Viewer as a really good candidate for the attic.

While it's not the most actively developed part of LO, it is (other than 
LOOL) still receiving contributions. And while there hasn't been any 
official release for a long time, daily builds are still provided by TDF 
[1] and the fact that users are occasionally reporting bugs in Bugzilla 
suggests that the app is being used by those.

Can you possibly give a few more details on why you're considering it as 
another candidate for the attic?

If there are any specific technical issues with the app (like critical 
bugs that make the app useless) I'd be happy to hear about those. (Maybe 
those can be addressed.)


Of course, it's well possible that interest in LO Android Viewer may 
become even less in the future, in particular as the COOL-based 
Collabora Office app as a potential alternative becomes even more 
mature. But at least in the status quo, my personal opinion so far would 
be that it's not the time to put LO Android Viewer to the attic as of now.


Best regards,
Michael

PS: As a side note, given that Android Viewer is contained in the "core" 
git repo, just like the desktop version, it would have to be clarified 
what "putting to the attic" would mean in detail for that specific case.
