Well, I think Frank managed to work (almost) alone so far so he can manage
to do it. For sure there's less fun. But the real fun is when people use
your tool.

IMO, only Frank can tell if he still wants (or does) work on MPC and why.
There can be so many reasons to do it or not to do it.

I'd like to, but I'm not going to make any promises, as I failed to really
be helpful to Frank so far.
