I=E2=80=99ve been on the proemial list for the better part of that 20 =
years. It certainly has slowed down the last few years (not many of us =
left getting our mail on Unix servers any more, let alone one=E2=80=99s =
that aren=E2=80=99t running something like Zimbra), but there is a =
message every few months.
I wouldn=E2=80=99t say Proemial =E2=80=9Cisn=E2=80=99t supported=E2=80=9D =
any more. It=E2=80=99s just not actively developed any more, as there =
isn=E2=80=99t much to add to it, or to fix. It=E2=80=99s not used as =
much as it once was, so there are fewer and fewer bugs found to fix. =
I=E2=80=99m sure if someone did find one, someone (with more coding =
knowledge than I) would write a patch and submit it, and somewhere along =
the way it would make it to the various package maintainers for Red Hat, =
Debian, etc, if not in the =E2=80=9Cofficial=E2=80=9D distribution (I =
don=E2=80=99t know who the maintainer of the package is these days).
