Understandable but sorry to hear it all the same. For the record, I make a lot of use of GPars and it is extremely reliable and solid. I've been on the verge of submitting a pull request to add back-pressure to the actor classes since that's my main pain point in using the library.
Thanks for all the work you have put into it over the years!
