Popcorn is not a definitive measure of a package's use or usefulness to
a group of people.  Not every machine runs popcorn.

Debian maintainers, like all free software maintainers, work on what they
choose to work on for their own reasons and in their own time frame.  Please 
do not confuse a lack of updates with a lack of active maintainer(s).  The 
upstream AX25 tools have not had much activity and for the most part do what 
they are designed to do.

The binary on the ham radio side is not "LinuxNode" in package "node" it is
simply "node" in package "node"

Since you are still concerned with this issue, and neither side has shown a
willingness to change, I would say the time has come for both packages to be 
renamed.
