So far no one has requested to continue suppport for the CSA importer which
means I have created a pull request where I removed the importer. See:

In the introduction of the wikipedia article of “CSA (database company)” it
says these companies have indeed merged and therefore you might be right. Maybe
they still have to figure out some things. I sent an email asking if there is
an export option for the csa format (and I’m just blind..) or if they are
planing on adding one in the future.
