As it's ~400KB and very few are likely interested,
I'll send them to you privately.

I think he already said what he thinks.

As arcnet has neither a maintainer nor an active
user base, arcnet is in "bugfix only mode".

Testing coverage is the biggest issue.

If you want to become the maintainer for arcnet
and have sufficient time and hardware to verify
that changes don't break things, great!

Responsibility then shifts to you.

Enjoy! (and thanks)
