No.. :) I just noticed it continues to be a distraction when doing interface changes or build cleanups.

Thanks.  For the record, I have no objection with this component goals, I always found it a cool project, and I'll happily welcome back if a maintainer comes along.  But until then I'd rather we don't have dead code in master -- the live code is more than enough to keep us totally busy.
