I'm sure if you submitted a pull request to any of the packages mentioned 
to fix the holes, it would be accepted with open arms.

Mux and Morsel are formally deprecated at this point and have no 
maintainers. They were designed early on in Julia's life and don't have a 
design that is particularly suited for modern Julia, so the maintainers of 
JuliaWeb made a decision to not invest time in keeping them operational.

That said, Randy is right that I would still merge PRs for them.

Jon,

I think you mean Morsel and Meddle are deprecated? While Mux is actually
maintained?
