The Amd package has been without an official maintainer since 1992. Several people have stepped in to maintain it unofficially. Through the process of patching and aging, it was becoming more and more apparent that Amd was in much need of revitalizing. Maintaining Amd had become a difficult task. I took it upon myself to cleanup the code, so that it would be easier to port to new platforms, add new features, keep up with the many new feature requests, and deal with the never ending stream of bug reports.
