Personally, I think that the current number of games is a good thing and each 
time (not so often) I play one or the other, I'm happy to see it and it works 
globally good. Too much quality kills quality...

I'm not formally opposed to this move but even if it is not maintained, the 
point is that it just works... And in fact I don't understand why it is not 
more used by games, because it was really a great help for ksirk. Maybe the 
lack of documentation, advertisement, and tutorials simply explain that...
