As far as I know, Zyn has NEVER been without a maintainer. Where'd you 
get that idea?

My experience with Zyn is freezes when running at low latencies. On the 
same hardware running with the same settings, Yoshimi doesn't.

My experience with both Zyn and Yoshimi is that the UI sucks, with its 
little non-resizable hard-coded window giving almost illegible text on 
high-rez displays.
