It is exactly what I'm referring to. I didn't say there aren't still people around. But they're far enough behind CPython that folks like NumPy are dropping support. Unless they get a substantial injection of new people and new energy, they're likely to continue falling behind.

You said it was defunct, which would mean there aren't still people working on it.

Not what you wrote.

Also CPython 3.10 is not EOL so library authors won't be using anything from 3.11 anyway.
