I have a dormant project [1] to add Node.js bindings for AX25 to be able =
to write Node.js apps directly on AX25.
My AX25 use is also dormant, but I would love to bring it back up =
someday.

User space makes a lot of sense for the reasons given.
Since maintenance is a question though, perhaps it=E2=80=99s a question =
of who would volunteer for making any change (beyond no change)?=20

The AX25 stack would still attach to Direwolf so that connected AX25 =
apps could run.
