I rather think the "community" as a whole would be averse to letting it die 8-) And, I'd venture that as a whole the community of ctwm users is more serious and more technically knowledgeable than the community of most other window managers (though that could just be my own conceit). With the number of people, and especially with the presence of sites like SourceForge (which has its own problems, but that's neither here nor there), we're unlikely to ever lack for space and bandwidth to host it. And with the users in general, we're unlikely to lack for maintenance, and probably not for people implementing new features. > I'm sure CTWM will be find to use as-is for some time to come.

If the ctwm "outlook" on UI functionality is "obsolete", just lock me up in the Tower of London :) > Does anyone here know of an approximate replacement for ctwm?

I've got patches on my webpage for the few things that ctwm didn't let me do that I wanted to, and a little script suite to handle the config files. I did my searching for a 'better' WM that already did what I wanted, and I'm still here.
