I'm currently trying to convince someone to not bother using auspice on their network, the reasons being it is no longer maintained, and is based on a very very very old version of ircservices which is full of bugs and holes (seems so old that it doesnt even use linked lists for a lot of its data structures, rather static arrays). It seems that this person is unwilling to listen to reason about why such old unmaintained (the keyword here) projects should not be used on a live net, can anyone else come up with any good reasons to sway him?

Thanks,
