I wrote (back in October): >Arthur David Olson and Paul Eggert are being sued
Having just noticed this thread in my mail archive, I'm reminded that I ought to post an update for <datetime@perl.org> readers. The suit was recently dismissed, voluntarily by the plaintiff, on the grounds that it was completely unfounded. Olson and Eggert have rejoined the database maintenance mailing list, which is remaining at its new home supplied by IANA. Robert Elz is still releasing new versions of the database, but the coordination job may well shift back to Olson imminently. Essentially, the episode is over. -zefram
