It wasn't abandoned, it didn't see any maintenance for 18 months. I don't get paid for doing this work. Red Hat does. They get paid for offering it to customers that apparently dem…

It has played out as it did, that's why I closed the project. I don't have any wishes. Just a bad aftertaste but that will go. I don't like to dwell in the past, regardless of the …

That's not exactly what happened, but great to see you are making improvements in your fiction-writing skills :-) Keep it up !

Maybe because it is the nice thing to do? And it's not like I have disappeared from the face of the earth. I am quite active on GitHub.

Well, I had to find out this was planned and acted on after the decision was made and the alternative was written without any regards of the original project. And that is fine if i…

I am not really complaining, maybe unsatisfied of the direction it took and the consequences to other distributions without having a say. But maybe people fancy the new PCP Dstat a…

And where is the lie? Maybe you should read the announcement and leave it at that.

I am not sure what you are implying here. I have zero interest in maintaining the project. This was the last blow to a dying project. The king is dead, long live the king.

There was a discussion in the Github issues. From that it was pretty clear this was a done deal. If the project is no longer maintained, why would they. And they had the PCP reimpl…

Is that what happened? I remember it differently...

Thanks :-)

Unfair in what way? They included in RHEL and sold it as part of their product when it suited them, and now they have replaced it because it suited them. That's fine, I don't have …

Huh? Jumping to conclusions while not knowing all the facts. Please read up on the discussions that we had _after_ Red Hat made this decision. Their decision was made, end of discu…

Nobody stepped up to maintain the project, not even Red Hat. Some people have offered help, and I have send out a few GitHub invitations to people that offered, but no takers. I as…

It didn't just slip their mind, they did not really care: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1614277#c7 The decision to do this was made before June 2018, 18 months after …

Who lied about this ? It's pretty clear we didn't accepted any PRs since December 2016 until Red Hat decided to replace our code, which started early June 2018. That's 18 months. I…

As part of archiving the project, I closed all open issues and PRs. That was what Github recommended me to do and I deemed best for everyone involved.

18 months

Yeah, I added python 3 support after I learned that was the main reason for replacing it. It took me less than an hour to make it work on Python 3, including all (but 2) of the plu…

Yes, and the plan to do this was conceived before June 2018.

What language ? It is being quite factual really.

Sure, and Red Hat being paid for RHEL shipping Dstat for a decade could have helped out. But instead they decided to replace it. And as a result I don't see a point continuing a pr…

> community developers requesting access to help were being ignored This is not true, I have not been contacted. I learned from Fedora's decision to replace Dstat with PCP months a…

It feels like reiserfs all over again.
