From the user viewpoint this really sucks, though we can all understand Jeff's priorities.

There is potentially hope, but I dunno. Bodhi had a pretty lively and vigorous community, and the distro's goals were pretty narrow and focused - provide E17 (and maybe now E18?) on a Ubuntu base. That means a bit more than just compiling and packaging, but there's at least some hope a dedicated general would like to step up and become admiral, or equivalent.

So from an outsider's naive point of view, what's so special about Bodhi compared to say, Kubuntu? Or just using Wheezy/Jessie and installing E17? I mean, for it to work with no setup right out of the box is neat and all, but is that alone worth maintaining a whole separate distro?
