So personally, I think this comes down to the people(person) doing the
work. Largely that's been John. If he wants to continue to package
this and spend the time and effort in doing so, I am happy for that to
happen. If on the other hand, he doesn't, then he should stop IMO. If
it is really important to someone else they are always free to pick it
up and do that work.
