No, you'd have to really be stretching it to come to that conclusion. The
questions were fair and reasonable given that the application does indeed
appear to no longer be maintained and the maintainer(s) no longer appear to
even be subscribed to or monitoring this mailing list.

Dia is quite obviously abandoned, the engineering effort required to
modernize it to GTK and Python 3 being either beyond the interest or
abilities of its maintainers. In all fairness there should be a disclaimer
on the website saying that it is no longer being actively developed and
will probably stop working altogether in a few years. That way unsuspecting
users won't invest any more of their time in learning a program that has no
future.
