Noooo, no no - that's not how we are playing this! Either you take over and you *maintain* the project, or you back off. Doing a one-off release of the easy part - the library only, and then instead of stepping up and doing the rest you argue that falling out of testing is an indication that it is irrelevant? Come on - grow up! I take back my endorsement. Please clean up the mess you did with your accidental one-off relase, and let people that care for long-term and proper maintenance handle it. Or do the right thing and *care* for the package!
