For the time being tmw requires manaplus, so that dropping manaplus 
would require dropping tmw as well. If that requirement isn't needed, 
perhaps it should get dropped?

You don't absolutely need to update every time upstream updates. Catching 
up regularly would still be fine.

It is OK to orphan stuff, though you are supposed to have sent a note like 
this one to the devel list when you orphaned it, to let people know it 
is being orphaned and why, so that someone else could potentially pick 
it up.

For now, I'll keep it going so that we don't lose tmw. Later, I am not so 
sure.
