Agreed. We have too many packages that are "just there" and not being attended in any half serious manner (did I say bug counter?). I like ncsa and use it as a server on 2 of my boxes. Boa is nice as well, but has too many open bugs, and the maintainer never ever seems to respond. -- According to the latest figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless.
