Change is always a pain, because it needs changing his own habits, but change is life, isn't it?
You are silently assuming there _has_ to be a change because every change is automatically an improvement. Neither is true.
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.
