Having someone working on these would be great! As you can see they haven't
been touched for several years.

The existing ones are so out of date that I think it's reasonable to just
replace them with EE 8 variants.

Note that WF 16 should be released next week, so if you want the latest
that's a better target.

Including the WF version in the archetype name will result in a lot of
archetypes over time, as WF will do a new release each quarter. WDYT about
a version-less name and just tag the repo per release?

I suppose if we pruned versioned archetypes after a while the number of
archetypes wouldn't get too crazy.

No such thing as a dumb question!
