trx_toolkit / fake_trx is used to connect the MS side OSmocomBB with
the network side stack (osmo-bts-trx, etc.).

Yes, this is primarily due to there being a lot of commercial interest and
associated contributions, allowing various people working full-time on it
for about a decade now.
On the MS side, there has never been any significant commercial interest,
and this is reflected in the situation that almost no code is being developed
for a long time, and also very little maintenance and no releases.

OsmocomBB is in sever lack of any form of contribution. There is no technical
or other reason why there are no releases.
