We already have netspeed which is decently maintained upstream and in Debian, plus netstatus. I don’t think we need three applets doing almost exactly the same thing. Looking at popcon netmon-applet is still being used by some people. Also, both netspeed and netstatus are a bit 'heavier' on the UI code, as netmon-applet uses text-only displaying. It is true however that upstream seems to have dropped this package, so on the other hand orphaning it might be a good idea. Maybe there should be an alternative for this package though, providing the same clean, text-only display method. Having had a deeper look into the upstream activity dropping this package seems like a good idea though. I am going to put this package in orphaned status again.
