Lack of documentation has made it very difficult to use, it is extremely slow, 
and no one ever asks about it except once every few years.  All of those factors 
make it unlikely to ever incorporate into an actual release.  Given that the 
development process has gone on for years in the absence of any real interest in 
the localpressure branch, it's probably more trouble than it's worth to get it 
up and running effectively.
