I'd prefer that the whole thread about the future of pyglet and
related issues remain in this group since the _users_ of pyglet are
the ones that are needed to keep the development of this library.
Also, I think the users should know what is going on with the library.
At least I want to keep track of the changes, even though I'm not
planning on helping the development.
