Yes, it's still my "plan" to let the rxvt-unicode package maintainer
know about the outcome of the decision about what to do with aterm. I
though wouldn't call that a "plan".
But my suggestion of course still exists. But it's nothing more than a
suggestion. I don't feel to be in the position to _decide_ about
aterm's fate in Debian. But I also won't object if others make a
decision.
Oh, and I agree with Adam that we should prefer rxvt-unicode-256color
over rxvt-unicode in this regards.
Regards, Axel
