Julian,

I know what your interest in this is, and I understand it.  On the other
hand, I can't see what difference it makes to you if the files are in
the attic.  We maintain them to the exact same level now as we did 
before the decision:  Not at all.


If some group of people will 'fess up to this, and promise to maintain
it seriously, then I'm sure we will take it back into the source.

Until then: it's dead.
