ASF is where software goes to "retire"; but retirement in this context is an euphemism for dying. truth is that the Apache Software Foundation is a software graveyard; this is known but not really "seriously" acknowledged. going straight away from the topic: why our culture does this? so many things are like this: there's a reality (ASF is a graveyard) but it's like rough or impolite to be upfront about it (but nooo, it's just 'stable' software... which may be in some cases but also it also may be dead and unused, people lie) clearly in the ASF somebody is getting paid for 'maintaining' Apache's version of star office, but clearly somebody is doing a bit of a fraud....
