I guess this is a risk with any free SW, the risk of it getting 
abandoned. Unless someone is willing to pay money for support 
contracts, which is not possible for hobbyists like me. Nor can I 
support it myself as I am not an expert in that field.

After suffering from this couple of times, I now tend to prefer 
SW from big corporations which hopefully will be supported for 
few years or SW from communities which are large enough to pick 
things up when things are abandoned.

Didn't mean to offend anyone, just thinking out loud.
