Cause of death: the autopsy

There is an official, free PACT Conformance Tool with test cases for v2 and v3, so the answer key was already given away. Search and developer interest were small, and it scored 8 out of 25.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
