7 As a user… yes? I use a laptop, so I don’t much care which one is
8 maintained but I’d be quite annoyed if both went away (unless there’s
9 some other dæmon that does the same job that I’ve never heard of).

11 Side note… we’re talking about a pretty tiny program here. Is “upstream
12 unmaintained” actually really a big deal? I mean, if ifplugd has worked
13 without bugs for the last seven years then it doesn’t really matter
14 that it’s unmaintained, does it? All the bugs on ifplugd in BGO appear
15 to be mostly a pile of stuff related to the scripts around it,
16 plus #214842 which appears to have been the kernel’s fault and #171415
17 which was a minor QA issue.
