Hi Peter, all,

"...Another vote for : 'Please do NOT discontinue support for Charon.'"

No worries; I had, and have, no intention of doing so.

There are definitely not many people using Charon. (Though since this
thread began, I've heard from many I didn't know about.) But Charon
has been very easy to maintain. Over the past few years, all I've had
to do is to fix a bug or two and add support for a catalog or two, and
answer a few questions about it.
