it’s kinda odd how this AI hype leads to discovering some tools are, in fact, still active projects
like there’s a rare category of software which appear to just be “done”, and you don’t expect anything but a bugfix or two a year in terms of updates. and i appreciate that category immensely
like, in my head rsync lives one or two steps below coreutils in terms of “it’s just a thing that exists”. probably if distributions simply wouldn’t update to new slop versions i would simply not notice for years and years and years. It’s so fixed that one possibly doesn’t even need a non-slop fork to keep things going, except maybe as a place to collect security fixes or such
