    Hi,

    Since Muammar has retired, would you please
    consider adopting adopting libsilly alongside cegui-mk2;
    as this is a building block of CEGUI and has no other use
    (for now) ?

    I'm guessing this was directed at Vincent? For the record, I was
    surprised to see cegui back in testing. I was purposely not updating it
    (and had just not gotten around to requesting removal from sid) because
    it didn't seem like there was any interest in keeping it. My personal opinion, for what it's worth, is that the upstream development seems
    stalled and I don't think the package is appropriate to keep in Debian
    at this time.

    I don't really have an opinion on whether we keep cegui in the archive
    or not, but irrlicht is a build-dep for cegui and not the other way
    around, so it doesn't really impact irrlicht one way or the other. If
    cegui gets removed, then irrlicht just becomes a leaf package, which I
    think is fine.

    Regards,
    Vincent
