I don't buy this mounting a dead horse argument.  It builds against current
dependencies we have in the ports tree, it works as intended, doesn't crash,
and edits my markdown files just fine.  It implements most of the author's
intended features; there is a couple of minor issues, mostly cosmetic, which
I plan to fix as time permits.  A piece of software doesn't have to keep
making new releases every six weeks to remain useful.
