I agree with you 100%, but unfortunately we are subject to these black 
periods from time to time.  Until someone finds out that its not there 
anymore and decides to fund some of its development.

Last time Insight was saved by Intel funding, for which I will be 
forever grateful.

I wish the Red Hat / FSF issue was solved though, as it would entice 
more developers (although there is no real problem in assigning Insight 
work to Red Hat, as it is distributed anyway).

Unfortunately some things are only given due value when they go missing. 
  I just hope this happens again this time.
