??? What? :P

I'm not maintaining anything and especially not Calc which
I don't even use.

I was only offering my services for a math library, if that
was indicative of a realization and shared view that we should
have that and other such libraries instead of the model we
have now. Well, I have just described it.

Because then it could be an alternative, it could be the
right-way-from-now-on never minding the past, it could even in
time be a complete replacement.

But people are opposed to this, which is okay. Unfortunately,
people didn't say that but instead started to talk about _me_.
Now I'm ready for that (see above, I didn't even get angry).
But all in all, now I'm really not up to do anything about
this since there is no agreement why it should happen in the
first place.
