-  Note: The stale bot was recently added to this project to help weed out
-  outdated issues. This will help us to focus time and energy on issues
-  that are important and move the others out of the way.
-  There could however be many issues that are still relevant
-  but have gotten old without ever being fixed.
-  As this is the first round of cleaning it might have been too eager.
   Feel free to re-open this issue if you think it deserves another look.
