It's not interesting at all. Synth was in a large part created because
people were irrationally sticking with portmaster and more frighteningly
gaining new users.
Please don't judge what's rational and what's not, because it's community
and when many people, even irrationally from your POV, sticking with
portmaster, then it's worth to consider and look for a way to keep it up.
Why don't *you* look for a way to keep it up? TZ already said he is
looking to drop maintainership. Now *YOU* have the chance to do more
than order volunteers around.
The point is that these tools are in great shape and to imply otherwise
needs proof. It's portmaster that's not receiving updates.
In current shape it works well for many people (and demanded by) in
community, so why should it be removed ? You can warn as much as you want
against, but you can't decide to remove.

Hrant, you must work on your reading comprehension. Nobody has talked
about removing portmaster, at all.
