Personally, I don't see any reason at all to continue the RC5-72 
project, which never had much of any practical point anyway. With no 
prize, there is now absolutely no point.

Let's focus on OGR-P2. It should be retired in practically no time 
without the distraction of RC5. Although we may see a mass exodus of 
computing power as those who were only in it for the money take their 
flops elsewhere.
