Any reason arj is not part of extras?

[Hans de Goede]

Hi all,

Is there any reason why arj (the clasic archiver) is not part of FE?
See: http://arj.sourceforge.net/

It is GPL and in Debian main, or is there another utility already in
FC/FE which can handle arj files? (and can be made to work together with
mc so that arj archives can be browsed with mc).

I'm asking because if there isn't any reason then I will probably
package arj.

Regards,

Hans
