Folks,

I read that phrase "pommed has been deprecated" since last year (I
think).

The fact is that "pommed":
* does its job and it does so very fast (brightness keys work faster than in OS-X I would say)
* is packaged for Karmic and available through the Mactel PPA
* so far does not give any side-effects

If it is really meant to be abandoned or not used then why is it available?
Thanks, Nikos
