The projects Mapbox endorses via its developer resources seem to suffer
from the fast paced start-up culture. TileMill showed much promise but
was quickly abandoned when corporate interested demanded a different
direction, that was very disappointing.

How would we do that, only having the package in testing & backports?
And more importantly, who is going to maintain the osrm package in Debian?
Christopher nor I actually use the osrm package, and neither of us is
intimately involved in its maintenance or development. That makes
removing the package from Debian a quite reasonable option for me.
