The projects Mapbox endorses via its developer resources seem to suffer from the fast paced start-up culture. TileMill showed much promise but was quickly abandoned when corporate interested demanded a different direction, that was very disappointing. >> Christopher, do you want to keep maintaining osrm for the duration of >> stable releases without upstream support?

How would we do that, only having the package in testing & backports? And more importantly, who is going to maintain the osrm package in Debian? Christopher nor I actually use the osrm package, and neither of us is intimately involved in its maintenance or development. That makes removing the package from Debian a quite reasonable option for me. Kind Regards, Bas -- GPG Key ID: 4096R/6750F10AE88D4AF1 Fingerprint: 8182 DE41 7056 408D 6146 50D1 6750 F10A E88D 4AF1
