Status of this extension

Hello all, Since there is not good way to distribute this kind of info, I am just using the Issue system. I know people are worried about the activity (or lack thereof) on this extension. Here is what is going on

• I have moved/relocated 2400 miles back in Dec 2023.
• But soon after, in Mar 2024, I became very ill and got hospitalized several times. I am doing better but staring at a long recovery ahead -- maybe several more months.
• I have been looking at every issue that shows up. But, most issues are either not urgent (IMHO) or are things users should solve for themselves. So many people don’t read our Wiki and other documents I am not able to do much hand-holding like I used to. I know some users pitch in to help others, but we need more volunteers.
• Please note that we rely on GDB and gdb-servers a LOT, so being able to debug those and read their output can really help out. If you see a message that GDB is crashing, then, some investigation is warranted.
• Please report real issues after you have done your due diligence to convince yourself

Thanks in advance for your understanding. I will have my family post something here if things turn worse and/or unable to support this extension due to other reasons.

@PhilippHaefele thanks you for your help. I wish there were more of you

I will be making a release shortly where I can test the PR/change in my limited HW/SW setup or consider it safe to do otherwise.
