Well, that's what happens if none of its users bothers to speak up or
participate in the maintenance.  I'm quite sure we have drivers that have
accumulated even more dust than pstricks.  

Putting such bugs into the SF.net tracker as soon as any of us notices
them might be a good idea.  Even if only to serve as a list of "things to
do on a boring rainy weekend".

I was talking about epslatex vs. pslatex.  Those two are almost completely
independent of each other.
