[KYHAM] repeater coordination and "dead" pairs

[A. W.]

I would like to pose a question to the group, in light of Mr. Goodpastor's comments about his coordination difficulties. Has any one ever been successful in an effort to "un-coordinate" an unused frequency pair?
 
SERA's own guidelines state that if a pair is unoccupied (by a repeater) for a period of over six months, that the frequency is eligible for assignment to others. Why does SERA fail to re-assign these unused frequencies to someone who will actually install and maintain an operable repeater? I know of one frequency near me that has been listed for at least 10 years and the "repeater" has never been placed in service.
 
 No wonder it is difficult to get a pair assigned with so many "paper" repeaters around. Unfortunately they don't work very well.
