Unless I fall under the proverbial bus, I expect I'll be supporting it
for a while longer. But I think it has probably taken on a life of its
own, as several people have contributed to the code and the
documentation, so even if I gave up, I imagine it would get picked up by
others.
As for number of sites, I have no idea. The mailing list contains
several hundred addresses, I understand, but that doesn't really give
you much clue. What is perhaps more interesting is that several of them
are quite large ISPs.
