This sort of expectation ends up being a mental block for me sometimes as far as putting something I've done out there. If I put it out there, someone might use it and expect updates. How many projects could I maintain at once? Is this one really worth that much trouble?

My suggestion: just release it. If someone uses your program or gives it a new life under a fork, that's great. If no one uses it, there's no harm done. If some asshole complains about support, either kindly ask him about a paid offer, remind him of his right to fork the project or ignore him.
