and while I've got your attention (possibly), would it be possible to tag a new release to get rid of deprecation warnings?

And since I'm here - is there some a Julia package org where this could live, to take it off your hands (if you want it taken off your hands that is!)? (@mlubin thoughts?)

Sure, I can tag a new release. I'd love to get other people to develop the habit of tagging releases when they submit pull requests, so the tagging process is itself a lot of work.

I would like to see this package end up in something like JuliaDiff.

But I'd like, ten times more, to replace this package with something like the Calculus2 package I demoed out. The interfaces in this package are kind of a mess, whereas those in Calculus2 are much cleaner.

I think there is a culture thing about tagging other peoples packages - I think its a fear of tagging a bad release, mostly, plus the inability to push the tag back upstream. I can do it if you don't want to.

JuliaDiff would make sense, yes.

The problem is that I also fear tagging a bad release, which is why doing the tagging is a meaningful amount of work -- I have to confirm that the package is still working correctly before I feel comfortable doing the tagging myself. That requires me to drop what I'm doing and shift mental state, since I'm ostensibly in charge of so many packages. I'm spending part of today writing out my Julia 2015 roadmap so that I can make clear exactly what projects I plan on working on. Hopefully then I can make it more clear exactly what work others need to be doing in order to move things forward.
