developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.

Flan is a network simluator written in java, and is now fully
functionnal. The IP protocol is implemented, with a quite complete
RIPv2 routing algorithm. The protocols are also written in java, so
GO AHEAD ! Flan is under GNU Public License, so download it, modify
it, and distribute it.
The networks are now encoded in XML, using XMLCoDe. This very useful
library (included in the flan tarball as jars) automatically creates
an XML image of a java object, like the flan nets (XMLCoDe is entirely
written by Sylvain Guerin).
