I'm pretty sure that you know exactly what I'm talking about. There is 
a huge difference between "there are no project developers at all 
interested in working on something" (eg the AppleScript stuff) and 
"this is of common point of interest to a lot of people" (eg say 
NSString).

If a project isn't supported by its developers, its pretty much 
useless. You wouldn't start working on the BSD or Linux kernel when it 
isn't supported by the developers anymore but rather switch to a 
different one. We have the same situation here.
