And they shouldn't :)    It would have a very short life cycle.

1.1 (to become 1.2) is being rewritten to be gui-independent.  Some of 
the klyx changes are being used to this end.  So rather than modifying 
it for a particular gui, effort should go into the change, and the 
kit for the gui.

And the license has been clarified; it no longer claims to be GPL 
(which it never was), but quasi-GPL (which it always has been).  The 
differences have been made explicit.
