[EP-tech] Retired ?

I'm worried about the use of the word "retired" to identify the 
status 
of a removed item. As far as I know and have reasearched about the 
meaning of that word, it just does not seem right.
I know I can simply change it for wahtever I like, but still want to 
hear your opinion about wether this is or isn't the right word to use. 
Also, if we all agree it is not right, to end up having a bug report in 
place so next versions of EPrints correct that mistake.

The definitions I have found suggest to use "retired" only for people 

leaving jobs, or, at best, as synonim for "secluded" which does not 
feel 
exactly right either:

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/retired
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=67519&dict=CALD&topic=retiring-and-resigning

I'd like to clarify English is not my mother tongue, so I'm sure you 
guys out there can point me to the right direction on this.
Thanks a lot.
