What's the point of arguing any longer? Any systemxy package that has an 
active maintainer can be part of openSUSE. You can neither force people to 
maintain a package nor to not do so. You can contribute yourself or pay 
somebody to maintain it – or you can just wait and see if you are lucky and 
somebody else does the job.

What Ruediger wrote is true the other way around as well:  a much better old 
system, I'm sure will be supported.

If nobody wants to maintain it the conclusion is obvious if one takes 
Ruediger's line of argument. If somebody will maintain it there is no issue 
for those who claim it to be better (suited for them).

I would not say it's about better/worse but simply about 
maintained/unmaintained and arguing does not change anything about that. Money 
or contribution do – nothing else.
