Well, it's not all sunshine and butterflies. I do not want to accuse anyone of anything, but that is not really 100% truth. I do not care about a piece of software going to App Store, it makes a perfect sense to support the developer (everyone needs to pay the bills).
This one stopped at the end of september: http://code.google.com/p/growl/source/list Yeah yeah, everyone knows that it might not be a top priority to update this repo. Still, giving it a push from time to time would look better. That way one would not get this creeping feeling that someone is not telling the whole truth. I guess most of the people would just prefer the straight and honest answer, there is no point in trying to twist and turn. My point is that judging by the App Store 1.3.1 is out, google.code repo shows us that it all stopped on 25. of September. So what would be the whole truth?
