Yep! And the aio functions are maintained in a separate library (libaio), not in glibc. This has really helped libaio develop fast, oh, wait, no it hasn't: it languished unmaintained for years.

I don't think libaio failing indicates a general problem with the approach. libpcap and libevent seem to be doing well.

libpcap was also near-dead for a long, long time.
It's not a kiss of death, but it's not a magic bullet to make things instantly be well-maintained, either. :)
