The pattern I usually see is that the RFP is a signal that somebody wants it to be done, and when someone steps up with an ITP, someone slaps them with a trout for not retitling the existing RFP instead :-) As a result, the continued existence of an RFP entry is a demonstration of the lack of interest in actually packaging and maintaining the software. I think it's more for the sake of helping provide an answer to those who ask "why isn't it in?" (answer: "because in the time since this RFP was filed, nobody has done the work to get it in"), more than stimulus to actually do the packaging work. -- \ "Know what I hate most?
