Yeah, just because we put something in Phobos, doesn't mean it will get maintained. It may get some perfunctory updates just to keep the autotester happy, but that's hardly proper *maintenance*. The real problem is that said projects need dedicated maintainers, otherwise no matter where you put it, it will bitrot and eventually die. T -- Never wrestle a pig.
