Fair enough.  It /was/ based on a particualr and now evidently
unrealizable dream about how "comaintainership" might evolve.

And, more importantly, it convincingly demonstrated `N+1' nifty things
and so:

We'll get something back up right quick, largely inspired by your
excellent work.

I'm sorry it flopped this way but, before it did, it really did help
quite a bit, not least in shaping people's thinking about what is
possible.

Thank you for your hard work and may you receive a virtual round of
applause.
