In fact, I don't even know what problem Philip is trying = to > solve! To be specific, my issue was mentioned here: https://github.com/joaotavora/yasnippet/issues/1121 ("Avoid false-positives when expanding snippets"). In my case, I have managed to circumvent the issue by unbinding the tab key and relying in hippie-expand, but the solution is not elegant and I would have appreciated a discussion on the issue tracker. The point was not to say that yasnippet has been abandoned, just to give an example where the liveliness of development could be questioned. > Is it just the general idea of abandonment of the fact that people's > issue reports go unanswered?

I guess, but I think it would be preferable to call for someone to fork the package instead of shifting the burden of maintenance onto the emacs bug tracker. > I do think that it's important to preserve the documentation though, as > many people > seem to refer to it still.
