As I know there is no new maintainer for pmud. Stephan Leemburg asked me to take over maintanance but finally we delayed the decision. He wanted to ask his co-developers first. I haven't heart anything from him regarding this issue since September 2003. But nobody wanted to force you to change your system. The current version works well on older machines and I used it myself before I started to develop pbuttonsd. If pmud does all you need and there is nothing you miss, please stay with pmud. Never change a running system ;-) Best Regards Matthias
