[Retired] What does it (Really) mean?

[Malicia Python]

I do not think that the covetedness of traits needs to be part of the semantic concept of "availability". Besides there are some furs and eyes retired that were in the former starters, that still have their fans (Bengal Snows, White Russians, Ody Dream eyes) as well as there are traits brought by the collectibles that are not really sought after. Usually the more dominat traits like beach blue eyes. Seems we have 4 "retired" categories now: starter/collactible either coveted/not coveted.

"So, next week when "Gold-Plated Latinum Eyes" comes out, and is only available for a week, it immediately will be just as "old, worn out, and worthless" as Genesis - Diamond because both are "retired". "

I dont think the word "retired" can do that to a cat. Even if it had the connotations you accredited it.
