An RFA was posted for xsysinfo on 22 Dec 2003. Jeroen van Wolffelaar retitled
it to ITA on 9 Nov 2004 while cleaning up a bunch of wnpp stuff, but it's
unclear if he intended to adopt it or really meant RFA. Jeroen?
There are countless packages in debian that serve the same purpose as this
package. Is there something unique about this one? Here's some data:

A two bugs, one with an easy fix the other with a patch.

So a few people are using it, it doesn't consume too much cpu/memory (less
than an xterm), and it only uses X libs (and not gtk/qt etc.), and won't take
too much effort to maintain. Comparing with packages of similar functionality
might be interesting.
(FYI, I don't use this package, the bug just caught my eye in wnpp because
it's old.)
