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.
