Genie support was merged under the condition that Jamie keeps
maintaining it (or we find someone else who is willing and able to
maintain it). He wrote a couple of days ago that he will try and support
Genie to deal with serious bugs, but he's not planning to invest time in
enhancements.

If this is not sufficient to keep Genie alive and useful, someone else
needs to step up as maintainer or we will indeed deprecate it to not
mislead users.
