Well, we did say we would disband it.  We just didn't follow through.
Would you be happier if we did disband it?

The goal was to try to leave the structure there in case anybody steps
up, but I don't really see the harm in acting as if the team doesn't
exist.  It essentially doesn't.  Disbanding it would just make it
formal.

Sure, we did drop this, but I don't really see this line of argument
actually accomplishing anything productive.  Creating a games team
that fixes these issues would be productive.  Letting others fix them
is also productive.  Nobody is opposed to having a games project - it
just seems like nobody cares enough to actually make it happen.
That's ok - we can still get things done.
