Does it have to be developed further? Neofetch looks like a finished product.
-
It would need to keep up with future changes and any security updates
-
Well, it does its job for now. As for the security updates... Isn't neofetch just a little fancy tool to display data from your system that is already exposed to any process on your distribution? What attack surface does it introduce?
-
Going by the releases, it didn't need updates that often, but it still needed updates to fix and ensure compatibility as things changed
Security wise, I think you're right

according to the Asahi guy, it doesn't work correctly for ARM: https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/111018734178152229
I am utterly oblivious to how neofetch works, but it does seem to need updates to support newer tech.

True for all programs

Works on mine
Édit: (10)... Ah, I see the point, indeed.

Doesn't affect me since I'm on EndeavourOS and they discontinued ARM support anyway!

It still had issues like handling 8-bit colors in ascii art incorrectly last I checked a few years back, with that pr already being a few years old then.
-
I wonder which of the many fetch tools support 24bit terminal colours.

On first sight yes, in reality: no.
