viteno> Because the package maintainer has requested it, lack of viteno> time. Do you volunteer as a maintainer? Strictly speaking, that's not true. The upstream maintainer requested that it be withdrawn because he believes it harms the quality of his project. Cf. AUCTeX for a similar case. Free software is free software, and of course we can make our own distribution if it serves our purposes.
