Wondering why floatbar not supported

wxPython Users

# Please note that wx.lib.floatbar is not formally supported as

# GTK users can use the wx.TB_DOCKABLE flag with a regular
# wx.ToolBar, but everyone else has to take their chances.

import wx
import wx.lib.floatbar

I was just wondering why the wx.lib.floatbar is not a supported
widget.

Because:

0. It has been abandoned by the original author.

1. It's 12 years old and hasn't been touched by anyone else in almost that long.

2. It was kind of a hack

3. There are lots better (and supported) ways to do that now, like AUI.
