This doesn't really solve the question I started with, which is what should I tell people who report bugs. As I see it, there are basically 3 options: 1. Someone who's already maintaining other things starts genuinely maintaining the eopl collection. That sounds pretty unlikely to me, and I don't think that's what you're volunteering for. 2. We keep it where it is, and don't maintain the code other than fixing life-threating bugs. This is basically the status quo, and I think it means people who report other, non-life-threatening bugs should be informed that we're not maintaining the code, and thus their bug isn't going to get fixed. 3. We take eopl out of the tree, and it's distributed/maintained by Dan and Mitch (or by someone else). Choice 2 is reasonable, but we should be clear about it. -- sam th sa...@ccs.neu.edu _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
