Not abandoned.  Piranha has two modes, FOS and LVS.  When Cluster 
Manager was added to the distro, we had two different products for 
failover.  Since Cluster Manager is superior in the failover department 
it became the preferred solution and Piranha's FOS mode became deprecated.

However, Piranha's LVS mode (which really is its main feature) is still 
the preferred way to perform load balancing.  Failover between the two 
directors is also still supported.

I cannot find an RFE in bugzilla regarding the failover script patch. 
If this applies to director failover I will consider putting it in.
