Really? I'd call that quite recently.
And there is an explanation: Rails has dropped automated support
for Que. That doesn't matter to me, because I'm not using it in the
automated fashion. But it means the big user base is gone, and
therewith the influx of improvement desires.

I'll see when I'm there. Still have to wait for the new kerberos in
FreeBSD - there will be a lot more to mangle anyway.
But speaking generally, I am quite bewildered that a simple tool
being stable for a year might already be considered worrisome.
Normally, a new technology brings a vast amount of innovation for
the first or second decade, and then it starts to stabilize.
We in the IT do the opposite, we ever increase the change rate,
and I am wondering where this is supposed to lead.
