Thanks for your information.

Good to know in principle …

I thought in an other direction if other contributors would like to care
for longer term support.

I am trying another general transformation pattern out.

Automatic source code analysis can find various update candidates.
I am just unsure if a bit more software development attention is still
appropriate at some places.

Do you find any of the affected software modules so outdated
so that they should not be touched any more?
