[artix-general] Enlightenment?

When the latest version of Enlightenment did not appear, I searched and
see that it is no longer in the Artix repositories (from which I
thought I installed it around a year ago). Instead I discovered that
the Bodhi Linux fork Moksha has been added/taken its place. Questions:

 * Is there a reason for the change?
 * Will E also be packaged?
 * If E will not be packaged, can it safely be imported from Arch, or
   must it be built with Artix due to systemd dependencies?

Note that I started using E in Manjaro (when it had a community of E
users). I recall when Jeff Hoogland forked e17. While I sympathized a
bit with his frustration, I felt him wrong for forking it. He could
have continued to contribute to the later releases of E as the devs are
quite open to contributions.

E has continued to develop nicely and the latest releases of it and efl
are better than ever. Much of the improvement is in efl, so I suppose
Moksha benefits --assuming the devs there keep up with the theming
changes (e.g., the latest cpufreq module required an update to the Flat
Theme).
