| I see this a bit more pragmatic Ed.
The project hasn't had any release since 2023. The last mailing list activity is from 2024. Thus, I think it's ok to assume that the project is dead and termination is ok to happen.
FWIW, the source code is not killed. Its archive will remain available. Any project willing to take this on can just import the code. However, I don't think we need to have the overhead of running a separate project for this. Especially when there is evidence that no customer or consumer has been missing something for the last two years without a release.
Also, if there is a real desire and community available the project can be unarchived.

Yes, I've also asked the IDE WG to put this on the agenda. We
really have no information about who is consuming this content but
one can be sure that any consumers do not read this mailing
list. I do know for a fact that there are consumers and this will have
a negative impact on them.

Hello Technology PMC,
Hello EMO,
I have a question regarding Eclipse Babel termination: what is the
planned replacement for its localization functionality?
A lot of Eclipse-based products around the world consumes Babel
packages with translated resources for decades.
Termination without replacement may have notable negative impact
on Eclipse ecosystem.
Perhaps this termination plan should be announced more widely so that the Eclipse community has a chance to keep this project viable.
Regards,
AF

Dear PMC and project team,
Based on the project activity, last commit and
releases, the EMO has identified the following
project as a candidate for termination:
We would appreciate any additional information
you can provide about the project's status.
Otherwise we'll proceed to schedule a
termination review in the upcoming weeks.
Kind regards,
