Package: wnpp Severity: normal I have not been using this editor for many years now. The codebase is old and buggy: some features are no longer working, and difficult to fix due to the fact that parts of it was copy-n-pasted from very old X11R5 and X11R4 code and then hacked. There's currently a bug against the .info files it ships with---unfortunately upstream did not ship the .texi source for it so it's annoying to fix.
This package is non-free, and upstream has repeatedly declined to change its license, which makes it not worthwhile to invest the time and effort to fix it. Upstream has also abandoned it years ago. In short, this package is non-free, buggy, and nearing the end of its life. A few people (very few, but non-zero) still use it, so it should probably still stick around for a little longer. I no longer have the time or interest to maintain it, so I'll be very happy if someone else can take the job. Thanks!
