Aside from the latest commit, there has been no activity for almost 3 years (latest code change on Feb 22, 2021).

People are criticizing AMD for dropping this, but it makes sense to stop paying for development when the dev has stopped doing the work, no?

And if he means that AMD stopped paying 3 years ago - well, that was before dinosaurs and ChatGPT, and alot has changed since then.

My thinking is that the dev _did_ work on it for X amount of time, but as part of their contract is not allowed to share the _actual_ history of the repo, thus the massive code dumped in their "Nobody expects the Red Team" commit?
