The Watchmaker implementation was not very scalable and there was no perceptible user demand for it. There was also nobody who was maintaining it.
So we nuked it. There is still a limited evolutionary algorithm that is part of the AdaptiveLogisticRegression. It is likely to be pretty good on problems that involve the optimization of functions of continuous variables. What sort of GA do you need?
