Depends on how you define 'dead'. I discussed this with jdub some time
ago and the idea was to import the Xfld packages into Ubuntu (which was
done for hoary), and then release a Xubu distribution ala Kubuntu based
on the packages and the Ubuntu core. Maybe there'll also be another Xfld
release, but that'll be based on Xubu then. Anyways, new Xfld releases
will only happen for major Xfce releases, as minor releases are only
bugfix releases.
