jcarousellite appears to be unsupported/abandoned - deprecate

hey
i'm finding a LOT of slideshow modules, but particularly, too many jQuery Carousel modules.
any plans to merge/replace these kind of modules?

jCarousel (jquery plugin) modules (the big two):
jCarousel vs JCarousel formatter framework

Views modules (depends on the modules above):
Views Carousel vs jCarousel for Views

Other similar modules:
Carousel - uses jCarousel (jquery plugin), the reincarnation of jCarousel for D7, in development
jCarousel Lite - uses jCarousel Lite (jquery plugin), limited configuration
Views Slideshow JCarousel Thumbs - uses jCarousel Lite (jquery plugin), integrated with Views Slideshow
jQuery UI Carousel - uses jCarousel (jquery plugin)
jcarousel block - uses jCarousel (jquery plugin), very limited configuration

there are a few other jCarousel modules and lots of other slideshow modules (many use jQuery.cycle or other plugins)

deprecate this module, jCarousel has evolved :)

http://drupal.org/project/jcarousellite
this module appears to be unsupported/abandoned,
it has no activity and no issues are being filled / responded to

recommending deprecating the project as there is other working alternatives

Did anyone contact the owner directly? That's required in http://drupal.org/node/251466 before we mark it as abandoned.

I just sent an email via the contact page. Let's come back to this in two weeks.

It's been over 2 weeks with no response, so I marked the project as unsupported.
