No, it's not. I am just pushing systemd through right now, and did other
stuff.

Also, check upstream git to figure out whether a project is dead. The
last commit there is from 2 weeks ago. Git can tell you something about
whether development happens. Bugzilla just tells you whether I have
devoted my life to processing bug reports. And well, I haven't done
that. Sorry that I don't exclsuively spend my time on making my stats on
bugzilla look pretty. If I did, then I would not get any real work done
anymore.

Most of the abrt stuff can probably be merged as duplicates. I'd welcome
if somebody wants to go through this and do this.

BTW, would be cool to direct flamewar-inducing mails like this to me
directly, first. Unless of course you think flamewars are a good thing,
not a bad thing.
