As far as we know noone is using it and nobody is maintaing it for a
decade, so it's bitrotting and we do not have manpower to fix it, or
rather we do not want to invest the scarcely limited resources we have
into something that is niche at best. We asked repeatedly if anyone want
to invest time into keeping it alive, but nobody answered the call so
far and I doubt that it will happen at this point.
