Any users of the cmatrix package out there with a pre-2019d gretl version?
Now that gretl 2020d is out I'm wondering whether we can retire the
package. I guess the default plan would be to remove it in a few months
at the latest, roughly one year after the release of 2019d.
I think it's safe to retire it.
