No disrespect to the Linux kernel, but activity is orthogonal to quality. Just because a project has a lot of activity gives zero indication about how good the code is. In many cases it's the opposite - lots of activity indicates a code base so riddled with bugs that it needs endless fixes.
And lack of activity doesn't indicate an obsolete project. It may also be the opposite: one that works perfectly as designed and intended.
I mean, that's hardly surprising. The Linux kernel is the single most important piece of software in the world right now and runs on more computers than any other piece of software.
