--- Comment #12 from Jeffrey A. Law <law at redhat dot com> ---
The problem Richard is nobody is maintaining the code.  What makes this any
different than a port which has become unmaintained and thus isn't being fixed
in a timely manner?  I'm not in a position to own the code and unless someone
steps in to own it/maintain it, I'll formally call for its removal after 4.9 is
released.  You called the code out as unmaintained two years ago.  I called it
out again in the 2013 Cauldron.  At some point we have to face reality and take
appropriate action.

In the mean time I want to see all the graphite stuff move to a P4/P5 priority.
 There's no way we should have graphite on the critical path for a release if
it's not being maintained.  Creating a meta-bug at that time would be
reasonable as well.


We wouldn't be throwing away the code, so if someone wanted to rebuild a LNO,
they could always pull the code out of an old release/branch and use that to
jumpstart the process.  Again, it's no different than a port  that has become
unmaintained -- someone can always pick it up from an old release/branch and
use it to jumpstart development of the port again.
