Daniel, stop already with your fetish for exclusionism.
We have here a person with a good track record of taking care
of his ports willing to maintain this project, and for some
reason it seems to offend you that someone is willing to keep
something alive.  A project does not have to die because the
original upstream is gone.  If someone is willing to take it
over, that's fine and we should support that person.  There is
no predestination and you should stop trying to force projects
out just because they weren't maintained for a while.

Yours,
Robert Clausecker
