Is Aspell Still Relevant in Light of Hunspell?

I originally posted this to aspell-devel and got a few responses, so I 
thought I would post it to aspell-user to get a wider audience.

Since hunspell comes out it seams like no one cares much about Aspell. For 
example, it seams that RedHat wants to completely eliminate all spell 
checkers except Hunspell:

Originally Hunspell was designed to replace MySpell in OpenOffice however 
since then it has become an independent spell checker with many of the 
same features of Ispell/Aspell.  Although it is never explicitly states 
the Hunspell is intended as a better Aspell (in fact they hardly mention 
Aspell at all), it is in a prime position to completely replace Aspell.
In fact the most recent version even has support for "dictionary based 
phonetic suggestion" [Hunspell ChangeLog].

So the question is: Do You think Aspell is still relevant in light of 
Hunspell?

Thanks in advance.
