yeah, it is always not nice when some author looses interest in his little pet
project :-/
Problem is, going back to the version with the patch you propose would loose
btrfs support?
Actually I started to use btrfs on all new installs, especially with it’s
built-in lzo compression, … ;-)
I also did not experience any problems with ext4 and the T2 version.
If there is any remaining problem we could better just fix that.
Theoretically I could also volunteer to continue maintaing that packages in
general, next to the lovely minised:
