For about a month or so, until the next bug, security problem, or
missing feature were reported... then people would switch to whatever
software was responsive to these problems. If GNU doesn't respond,
someone will eventually fork the software (because they can :) and GNU
would lose users.
Even DJGPP continues to be responsive (albeit very slowly) to these
things, to remain relevent to the subset of users who need it.
