Not that there is necessarily that much churn in csv processing, but last I looked, the xsv repo has not received much maintenance for a while.

- barotalomey 2y agoWhen software is feature complete, fast and working correctly, what is it exactly you expect to change?
- 0cf8612b2e1e 2y agoI mean there are 131 open issues and some 30+ PRs, so clearly people have some desire for change. No criticism to the author. He is way more productive than I will ever be, but xsv does appear to be on the back burner. Open source means the author can spend their time how they like and I am entitled to nothing.
