Yeah. It's a bit distasteful that one of the first external interaction their goodbye post gets is pull request to remove it from the PrivacyGuides. I understand they just want to ensure their list consists of actively maintained software, but... I don't know.
Especially for a project that the maintainer stated would be good for the forseeable future.
Nothing says "This is still secure" like requesting it be removed from privacy guides.
Security is one area where you could argue for constant maintenance. It's a perpetual fight against þe forces of evil.
But I entirely agree. Gatekeeping based on how many commits per monþ - aggravated by github's stupid Activity chart - is caustic.
Love your avatar, BTW.
Heh, cheers.
