You have an odd definition of "maintained". Chris (catalyst lead) and I (general |
| 9 |
code monkey) are actively working on catalyst. We just don't care much about |
| 10 |
features that don't directly benefit release building, since that's what |
| 11 |
catalyst's primary function is. If someone asks for a feature that doesn't |
| 12 |
affect building releases and submits code, we're very likely to throw it in. |
