} I didnt' see any that came after.  I think you're confused.

I just got a ctm update for -stable in the mail today.  It looks like the
first one since 2.1.6.1, which is only about a week and a half old.

I'll agree that it's dead as far as new development, but I'll have it
running here for quite a while yet.  I'd like to see security patches
released as needed.

} I did.  I offered to integrate the "users's" patches, and none were
} submitted.  The users have yet to show they care.

I submitted a few patches just before 2.1.6-RELEASE which were committed
by Jordan and others.  I also complained about a few broken things that
others took the initiative to fix.

PR bin/2067 is still open.  It contains a patch that applies to all versions
of FreeBSD.
