Hi Dave,

As with any open source project YMMV but I've been very grateful for the
responsiveness of the fossil core team to important fixes.

Looking at the open ticket list I see that some of the tickets left are
controversial (for example one ticket is on whether or not an update should
bring back removed files), many tickets are probably already fixed and yes,
there are some that need to be addressed.

I think Fossil development seems to charge along at a pretty healthy pace,
look at the change log on the last few releases.

In short I personally don't feel that the list of unclosed tickets is a
symptom of any real problem other than as with many projects more
contributing developers would probably be appreciated.

You might want to scan through the open tickets looking for issues that
would impact your intended usage and then either test the latest fossil
against those issues or ask on the list specifically about it.

Note: I'm an end user, not a developer.
