I care about the polymake spkg, and I know a few users who do too. It would be nice to fix it; the last time I tried to install it I got some errors I didn't understand at all so I'm not sure what exactly the problem is. Its probably out of date anyway, so it might be best to start from scratch if it is to be fixed.
Although the current included polytope code is somewhat disjointed, buggy, and incomplete, it is progressing and getting closer to polymake's functionality. I think this actually makes the polymake spkg more important since it helps clarify what functionality needs to be added. -M.
