Developers also mark stuff as alpha to denote that, even though it probably works 99.999% of the time, they don't have enough bandwidth to actively maintain it as "stable" software. If there's a bug in "alpha", developers shrug. If there's a bug in "stable", developers yell viciously on mailing lists and issue trackers.
In terms of activity metrics, I don't understand why you think it's not active. If you look at the github page - https://github.com/Pylons/deform/commits/master - you should note that the deform project is quite actively participated in, with many recent commits, merges and bug fixes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
