Call me Cassandra, but I bet in 2013, while sitting in front of a Linux box I'll wonder whether there isn't an utility that does all that I need from GnomeFooBarBarella without 2.7 gigs of dependencies, and then the link to it goes to berlios…

Well, it might be cheaper to create a read-only mirror of all of the projects on BerliOS and host it for free for a while than to have to re-create some obscure bit of software you need for an old system (or to recover data from an old disk, etc.)
