I already did that when I wrote it, actually there still is an open bug
for it. So I guess you didn't actually go trough these proposed steps
yourself. Anyway, it is completely besides the point, because you or
anyone else won't check a week or a month from now if there's bug filed
against cccc, that is what maintenance is about.

Where was this rejected and by whom ? By you I guess ? That just doesn't
cut it, errors made in the past are no reason to make them again in the
future.

So now we do have your blessing ? cccc is then up for removal as of this
moment.
