that would be because that's what it is. like the rest of the games dir, battlestar is a piece of history, very much of its time, that had been left alone in one of the dustiest corners of the tree, until you started posting excerpts to a contemporary and fairly active public mailing list. if, as you claim, you're seeking opinions of developers, that was totally unnecessary. they already know what it is. (not sure of your background and if you know what the era was like, if not then read some trashy paperbacks from around the time this was written, I guarantee you'll find far far worse). maybe games could be retired wholesale as "past its time" (there are other parts that some view as problematic too), but I think it's extremely unlikely that you'll see any singled-out change.
