Well, no one has volunteered to take over maintainership, so it would appear to be heading toward orphaned package status. While that doesn't mean immediate removal from the tree, it will eventually as bugs begin to build up, and with a package such as this, they will probably build up to the point they get the attention of tree cleaners relatively fast... Overlay was suggested. I imagine if no one takes over maintainership and it gets pulled from the tree, sunrise might end up with it. It's fairly likely some user would be interested in it enough to try it there, altho as complex and old as it is, how successful they might be is open to question. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
