Let me ask the non-technical people here. You know who you are. Tell me why we even need an FTSC anymore?
It is not the job of the FTSC to make sure Z4 works with anything new, nor does the FTSC "hold hands" with people who cannot grasp how to properly run mailers or cannot understand how a nodelist works.
The role of the FTSC is to document new stuff that becomes accepted as standard, and to clean up/help Michiel revise existing documents. Like him or not, at the very least he keeps the interest going for maintaining them.
But it would be very logical going on 2018 now to "call it day" and dissolve the FTSC altogether; it is highly unlikely a new Fido technology is going to be adapted like BinkD was.
The existing documents for the most common, popular transfer methods and storage of Fido mail is clear enough that a developer can write his own mailer, tosser, nodelist compiler, editor etc.
What else is there now to do? Other than patchwork?
Cue now to the noise...
