Well, no one has volunteered to take over maintainership, so it would |
| 9 |
appear to be heading toward orphaned package status. While that doesn't |
| 10 |
mean immediate removal from the tree, it will eventually as bugs begin to |
| 11 |
build up, and with a package such as this, they will probably build up to |
| 12 |
the point they get the attention of tree cleaners relatively fast... |

Overlay was suggested. I imagine if no one takes over maintainership and |
| 15 |
it gets pulled from the tree, sunrise might end up with it. It's fairly |
| 16 |
likely some user would be interested in it enough to try it there, altho |
| 17 |
as complex and old as it is, how successful they might be is open to |
| 18 |
question. |
