The reason for this is one of the steps for project retirement is to remove the repo from zuul [0]. If the upstream for the project has retired the project I think it is reasonable to remove it from our systems like Zuul. The project isn't retired on a per branch basis.

I do not think the Zuul operators should be responsible for keeping retired projects alive in the CI system if their maintainers have stopped maintaining them. Instead we should remove them from the CI system.
