As long as there are maintainers and upstream I see no reason to drop a package. Which one is the default, of course, is a decision to be taken by the distribution as a whole. After all, the system scripts have to be adapted to it. And whining is not maintaining, so if someone really wants the package, (s)he better puts the keyboard where the mouth is :) Cheers -- t
