Story behind AppConfig?

I've been studying the architecture of TT2 and in the process
started looking at AppConfig.  While TT2 is being very actively
maintained, this module, which TT2 has as a dependency, seems to
be a bit neglected.

I did find this very old but interesting post to this list,
regarding AppConfig...

So I guess my question is, what is the story behind the current
state of AppConfig?  Is it just a case where it works well enough
and is stable enough for the needs of TT2?  I was considering
using AppConfig for a project outside of TT2, so inquiring minds
what to know.
