The most recent stable release of geda-gaf (1.8.2-5) will celebrate its 
2nd aniversary next week. This is not quite OT with respect to the 
discussion on the activity in this mailing list:

The very large majority of Linux users only see what they get via their 
Linux distributions - and these distributions have the policy of 
strictly limiting the distributed software to stable versions of 
upstream packages. This is the case for my distro (Mageia), and I have 
verified for Ubuntu - both are stuck with 1.8.2-5.

As a consequence, this average user does not profit from the results of 
what is being discussed on this list: geda-gaf probably looks more or 
less dead to him. Can this be improved?
