As I know there is no new maintainer for pmud. Stephan Leemburg asked me to
take over maintanance but finally we delayed the decision. He wanted to ask
his co-developers first. I haven't heart anything from him regarding this
issue since September 2003.
But nobody wanted to force you to change your system. The current version
works well on older machines and I used it myself before I started to develop
pbuttonsd. If pmud does all you need and there is nothing you miss, please
stay with pmud. Never change a running system ;-)
Best Regards
