Yea, we're getting updates, there was just this idea here that these updates weren't changing rules and that meant the project was dead, when in fact I think it just means the project is mature, and improving the ruleset in a meaningful way is hard. What I really wanted was the help I got understanding the culture behind how the rules are being created, changed and distributed. Thank you everybody for your input, it was very helpful.
