You have an odd definition of "maintained". Chris (catalyst lead) and I (general 
code monkey) are actively working on catalyst. We just don't care much about 
features that don't directly benefit release building, since that's what 
catalyst's primary function is. If someone asks for a feature that doesn't 
affect building releases and submits code, we're very likely to throw it in.
