I use plenty of libraries myself that have been stable for a long time, and any potential changes would really deserve a '2' or '3' fork. But I sure like knowing that there is a One True version owned by at least one human being, gettable from at least one approved spot, so that you know it's the real goods and have provenance. In the sense that you meant, some level of _active maintenance_, I agree: quite a few libraries no longer need even one person to do that. AHS
