People still use GNU Interactive Tools.  Not just crazy, stupid people,

Why do you say that?

Do you have anybody who actually does, or are you just claiming so?

What I have is bug reports against the cogito package, from people who
want to install both.  The reports came very soon after I released the
package, so I dont think it's a totally freak occurance.

Some Debian maintainers defend GNU Interactive Tools, but I'm guessing
that will only lower your opinion of Debian maintainers:

Anyway, enough of this.  I understand the name will not change and I'm
ok with that.  I'll deal with it on our (Debian's) end.
