I understand "retired" as:
It is deleted, but since we do not want to really delete anything in
the database, it is just marked as deleted and can be undeleted
(unretired) later.

So retired keywords/users/messages/issues should not appear
anywhere. They currently do, which sometimes causes problems, e.g.
when editing an issue.
