Is it really? Does anybody care about sourceforge these days?

And is it good advocacy if people go there and download old versions?

We are clearly not capable of keeping the sourceforge records up to date.

We've had multiple different people in charge of it, and it has
*never* been updated on time more than once after a new person picks
it up. In this case, it's clearly lacking by *years*.

We do have the same issue at freshmeat, but at least there is no
*code* uploaded there.

While I don't trust you any less than the previous people who have
volunteered to maintain this and then failed one or two releases
later, I personally think we've reached the point where we should just
accept that we can't do it, and get rid of it. We can keep switching
maintainers, but in the end, I don't think it's worth it.

That's IMO, of course, others may vary.
