Good.  I'd said I'm giving up Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (DCSS) and 
Mathics & dependencies--already gave up some those (has fewer)--but 
don't go far as to change these fields in my *.info to 'orphaned' just 
yet: I'll do what I can as long as no one else wants them... hopefully 
eventually someone does, and then those can be replaced... I want a 
smooth transition for anyone that may be using/playing these (and I do 
rarely still play roguelikes myself and sometimes use Mathics, just DCSS 
changed and Mathics is becoming a 'mess of Python dependencies').
