Well I know of it and have never used it. Mainly because I didn't (and
still don't) really know what it does. From an outsider looking in, the
project is dead. The home page isn't updated (it talks about 8.1) and
the CVS repo appears to not have had a commit in 2 years.

How is anyone in the general community supposed to have any idea if this
is a good idea or not?

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
