I like to check my 'dormant' fics from time to time (manually in the browser! Jim's warned enough about bulk-updates). Once I've been pleasantly surprised with the author beginning updates after a half-decade hiatus. Putting them in their own category away from abandoned fics helps with that.
EDIT: Also subscribing to the dormant fics so that if they
do someday get an update I'll find out—either email, or in the case of ffnet's broken email updates via the story alerts page.
