This was my conclusion from mailing-list activites at the time
(-hackers or -current - I don't remember which).  It was not meant as
an official statement (hence the "probably").

At this time, it seems like there is a lot of people that don't want
the games to go, so I'd guess they're staying for the time being (for
the forseeable future, that is.)

Personally, I don't think the games belong as part of the OS, and
similar sentiments had been voiced by others (including Jordan, IIRC).

No - it isn't even a planned action :-)
