Re: Time to move GGV to the Attic?

I wasn't going to post in this thread anymore but this message refers to
me by name (in the search) and mischaracterizes heavily what I said
previously.

I don't know why you search didn't return anything, since there is for
example: 

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347849

Moreover please check the messages I wrote on this topic:

So searching on bug reports for evince clearly would not yield much. In
fact I may never have filed a bug on evince except the very recent one
mentioned above.

I am not angered about evince. As I said earlier I in fact like it. This
thread is about ggv, and the stupidity to claim that a maintained
program is always better than an unmaintained one.

And if it should just be about moving unmaintained code into archive
then this should be happen with all such unmaintained code!
