Out of curiousity, why would you respond to a message where the subject
contains the word "BUG" and then opine that someone is removing a package
which has no outstanding problems?
And, no Reini, I wasn't being "mean" and I wasn't trying to goad anybody
into volunteering. I truly didn't think that very many people were
using this package and an unmaintained, buggy package is just a package
which is taking up disk space and causing the occasional user hearburn.
I am surprised and gratified that we got a volunteer to support it so
quickly, however.
