There is probably zero chances that this happens. I handled over the
maintenance of shadow to the "team" but the movement is very slow. So
I suspect that nearly nothing will happen.

As for Nicolas, he is pretty much inactive for years now, so don't
expect more from his side.


So, well, even though I'm not happy to send suuch news, this is more
or less the reality nowadays.
