Because no one's bothered to commit newer code.  What we got works.  Plus,
there is a big legal morass over VoxWare (they went commercial, and
VoxWare is a used name), AND they want to give us something for free, so
I'm GUESSING that we're waiting for them (Hannau) to give us something.

Ask in multimedia@freebsd.org for details...
