Well, there is: I still have it, for example, and it still runs and can
still be installed. It hasn't been updated in quite some time and is
unlikely to ever be updated, I agree. What difference were you trying to
draw here?

Ronan made a good point that content developers should examine their
dependencies and avoid assumptions (eg sniffing specifically for ASV, or
using techniques that are specific to ASV extensions like the
right-click menu stuff, or taking advantage of looseness that ASV allows
for historical reasons (eg defaulting the SVG namespace).

But that is good advice in any case; content that looks specifically for
ASV will fail when someone accesses that content with any other of the
increasing number of SVG implementations.
