15 No, if you want to keep it -- feel free. I just saw it because it's
16 the only reverse dependency of dev-util/anjuta which looks pretty dead
17 itself, and then I saw how much more dead gtkpod looks.

19 If you can break the dependence on anjuta (which I didn't
20 investigate), I'd have no problem keeping it. Would be nice to have an
21 actual maintainer as well.
