Agreed. Nowadays I'm also in maintenance-only-mode with respect to MochiKit. Meaning that I'll only address critical bugs or merge well-documented & tested patches. The MochiKit.Text module and version 1.5 won't progress further unless someone else steps up to do the work.
That said, I'm still using MochiKit where it makes sense. Preferably in conjunction with jQuery. Would be nice to eventually package up MochiKit into separate pieces that glue better into jQuery in some ways. But the custom packaging solution we have right now also allows to strip out some obvious duplicated stuff...
