14 months ago, the Autopackage project was small and active, and members sounded optimistic about its success. Now, although the alternative installer project continues, progress has almost come to a halt. The #autopackage channel on irc.oftc.net sits vacant most days, the developer blogs cover almost anything except the project, and commits to the source code repository have become rare. Formally, the project is still alive, but the major contributors all agree that it is faltering. So what happened?

It's no skin off my nose or anyone elses', so feel free to climb off the pedestal and discuss the real problem. Telling everyone that they're crying and that there are multiple distributions simply isn't doing it.
Hey.. you're the one who has the problem. For my needs open source and the packages I get out of the Fedora repo handle everything I need. So this is your issue not mine.
But instead of realizing that the real world political and economic realities and coming up with a solution that can work within them. You want to bitch and moan because everybody won't embrace your preferred solution. Shrug. That seems just insane to me.
Things just aren't so bad, and seem to be headed generally in the right direction.
