<div>Dear Chin Luh,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for addressing the
critical topic of external modules maintenance.<br>
While IPCV is the most downloaded module, your fair question<br>
</div>
<div>>So should IPCV continue to be
maintained ...? <br>
<div>sounds desperate to me. I rather share the same feeling:
Almost 5 days after your message, not a single answer from
users...!<br>
<br>
So, apparently, the answer is likely: No, it's not worth
maintaining the most downloaded module, and therefore No, it's
not worth maintaining any other external module.</div>
<div>Let's stop maintaining ATOMS for 2021. The ghosts of silent
users are certainly rich enough to pay commercial equivalent
tools.<br>
<br>
Since there are 12 days left before 2021, i will answer for
particular cases in separate (sub-)threads.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
Samuel<br>

<div dir="ltr">Sometimes it is hard to decide whether to continue
maintaining an atoms module or not.... So I did "snapshots" of
downloads on 9/11/2020 21:44 and 14/12/2020 12:20 respectively
to see which modules are in the actual top downloads.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Still, this is not a fair result, such as IPCV having some
"patches" which will increase the download number, and some
other factors as well. </div>
