Well, the module itself certainly isn't dead since it's distributed
with Python. What might be dead is the standalone version, Optik.

However, we have so far delegated feature requests to Greg and
expected them to be included in Optik first before being merged
to the core. If Optik is no longer maintained, we can do this
directly in the core, with Python's release cycle.

two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
