# Are we stuck?

The situation has not changed, but it should also not just hang around
forever.

As was outlined before, that code is unmaintained, hence disabled consciously 
(more details above).
What does that leave us with as options.

a) just re-enable and ship it, that would make more people reply on it
longer which is not the way this seems to be going

b) keep it disabled and say "bad luck" is not nice to the people still
depending on it

c) compromises ...

(c) leads me to a few aspects of the discussion so far:

c1: workarounds

I agree, but due to the risk of (a) just extending the use of something not 
meant to be used, it is not a good path.
We could provide a PPA with it enabled as Lukas did, thanks for the feedback to 
also need MPT btw.
If we go that route it would be with MPT.

That would allow people to use that as fallback until a long term solution is 
found.
But that would be a one off PPA, not regularly rebuilt for fixes, not under 
security monitoring and so on - TL;DR we'd establish something we'd not want 
people to really use.


But that feels like being stuck...
