..aye, and I see there may be a new bug-fix build coming
There's a good reason to keep things around too, in that you cannot be forced
into a lock-in style upgrade.

I'd say it's worth keeping around for a while as it doesn't have any gnomish

To add my two cents..
Since it's an important package, maybe it's worth seeing if someone can whip up
a patch if there isn't already.
Also worth pointing out that lilo is without an upstream maintainer as of
recently.

Hi,
I contest the idea that software has to be continuously developed.
Eventually, proper development stop like what happens with a building.
Then, maintenance follows. This means as long as software has bug
fixes (maintenance), there would be no justified reason not to use it.

Hi,
I am a user of SLIM. What is wrong with it? I read that it is not
being actively developed. Does it mean a project has to be
continuously developed to be used? Aren't bug reports and bug fixes
NOT enough?
