Bug#141099: What are the current plans regarding xpilot-ng//xpilot?

Hi,

Sarge is released now, and development has "settled" as much as it can,
i.e. I have not seen any signs of life from 'official' xpilot for over a
year. On the "NG" side, the project has reached 100% compatibility with
'official' xpilot now (as far as I could follow this).

I think there are no fundamental reasons anymore that would hinder a
switch from xpilot to xpilot-ng.

xpilot-ng can read and run the old block-based-syntax maps, the ng client
can connect to the original servers and vice-versa (A block-based
approximation is calculated from the polygon map and shown to the clients
that can only understand block-based maps).


This "being packaged" entry is >> 1000 days old now and Ben wants to stop
maintaining the xpilot packages therefore I wonder:
what is the current status and what are the current plans?
