Of course, it is considered. Factory maintainers won't let you 
remove package which has alive dependency (BuildRequires or 
Requires, both).

Well, I guess the best protection against removal is to show 
some signs of life in the package. If package has not been 
touched in the last two years (https://is.gd/lCVFbz and the last 
upstream release in Jul 13, 2015), my restraint against removal 
is significantly lower.

Best,
