The PR quotes the author:

	Note: SpiralLoops isn't being supported any more. This is because there
	is now a much better featured spiralloop plugin for SpiralSynth Modular.

Note that this is about SpiralLoops.  He goes on to write about
SpiralSynthBaby:

	There is also a smaller version of SpiralSynth specifically designed as a
	SpiralLoops plugin. This was written because my machine was unable to
	comfortably run the full synth and SpiralLoops together.

	SpiralSynthBaby is a two oscillator synth, and runs about twice as fast as
	SpiralSynth.

There are still users--myself for example--who have slow computers, for
which something "better featured" is not necessarily desirable.

Warning users not to use software just because its author doesn't offer
support seems like overkill.
