As upstream we are asking all distributions to 'package everything' to
provide a consistent experience to our users.

Your first email made it clear you were not interested in that, and I
provided some additional information mainly for others on your team,
others reading this thread, or future prospective packagers.

Of course I echo Doug's sentiment, and wish you well. I have made use
of your packages over the years and was glad they were
available. Thank you for working on them.

I will remain optimistic that someone will wish to take on this
project, and will do what I can to circulate awareness of the need.
