I think Francesco Ferreri described the work involved pretty neatly.  
ISC was meant to maintain the code, and we have dropped the ball a  
bit on this so far though at least some of the patches are now in.  
However we just can't afford the amount of coder time to tackle a  
full rewrite ourselves. Unlike others, we don't have infinite resources.

It looks like the ISC list archives don't work either, since this appears 
to be from a thread shortly before I joined this list. The last thing 
in the list archives was from June, at :
http://www.isc.org/mhonarc/irrtoolset/maillist.html

Could someone possibly fix the list archives, or forward me an archive of 
the mailing list (mbox, not maildir)..

Thanks
