No, I didn't - not this one.

"demise"? "oust" perhaps...

No - it's usually some user feeling like updating a horribly outdated
record. They don't have employees that surf the web 24x7 for updates and
no automatic system but are dependent on user submissions. It's
"community driven" as it's called nowadays. DIY might also fit. :)

Seriously, if you have an interest in current fm records for bogofilter,
then just submit them once the sf.net or David Relson announcements on
this list are out - or find someone to submit that stuff.

You can do it offline if you wish, ESR has a freshmeat-submit script to
help, check http://www.catb.org/~esr/freshmeat-submit/
