</I>Well, i just gave one use case (k9copy) which does not need to be maintained,
but has been obsoleted. Which does not mean in turn, there's a drop-in
replacement for it and/or that it has become obsolete at all.
With that in mind, quoting the author:

</I>><i> Developments on K9Copy stopped. After seven years, I decided to move on and
</I>><i> get involved in other projects.

</I>><i> The DVD is obsolete, and I no longer believe in the future of desktop Linux.

</I>><i> I started working on this project after the installation of Mandrake. I

</I>><i> know what language to use, or what programming environment. I chose C + + and
</I>><i> KDevelop on KDE, because it worked well on Mandrake.
</I>><i>
</I>Well, the DVD is not really obsolete, many people still use it
and want to provide contents via DVDs as that is the only widespread
medium that most people have players for.
But i get what you mean, and this is quite a cornercase ...
Still i'd be happy if there's some solution for this problem.
