Upstream is totally abandoned, it has spawned multiple forks and there are tons of different alternatives available now. I don't see a reason to keep this around. https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/commits/master https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/issues https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/pulls Alternatives: fastfetch, hyfetch, screenfetch and possibly many many more I'm missing.

Copy-pasting my -dev post here: Hey, so my reason for removal was that the upstream issue number is growing weekly and there's no one fixing them. Apparently a new fork was made where the new authors have been fixing bugs / merging PRs from neofetch and it seemed reasonable to switch to that. But neofetch does do the job of showing Gentoo-logo just fine I guess... but I also want to point out it's literally a single wgettable bash script and I personally don't see much value in keeping it, but people seem to love it too much :) so let's keep it. And I agree, neofetch is the original, it has a legendary status.
