Did you ever find a supporter to help with the production of GRSecurity?

Yeah, i know from irc that some people sent mail, and were willing to support. But is it enough? What's the current state?

I would sure like an update from Brad on either the website or here, since the official end-date has passed already.

"Due to a sponsor unexpectedly dropping sponsorship of grsecurity while continually promising payment, development of grsecurity will cease."

So what do you think it means, when, on June 8:

1) The front page stating that development would cease was taken down, and replaced with the original front page with no mention of development ceasing, and

2) Spender commits a change to CVS on the development version of grsecurity?

Anyway, check out the following pages which state this explicitly:
