1) The distfile and cvs history will be around forever, in any case.

2) The thing dumps core with little provocation, and no one's ever
going to fix the bugs in it. No one's using lesstif12 for sure, so any
bugs in that are really going to go unfixed.

3) If you count lesstif12, Mosaic isn't such a little package (not
like "archie").

4) It has an hier in mMosaic. mMosaic starts with the same code base
and retains the look and feel.
