Re: [VOTE] Move Apache Forrest to the Attic

Hello

I have earlier argued for the maintenance mode of Forrest, and had some =
plans for contributing to areas important to us in divvun.no. Alas, =
after all these years that has not materialised, and I see little chance =
that we will contribute in any meaningful way in the medium-term future.

Given this, the only logical conclusion for me must then be:

+1

for moving to the Attic.

Best regards,
Sjur
