What kind of dead specification is IMS Learning Design ?

The question is not if IMS Learning Design is dead.

The question is what kind of:

1. Dead and burried, i.e. no one believes in it anymore
2. Dead and taxidermied, i.e. it's out there and "used" (e.g. as a substrate for PhD thesis in applied computer science)
3. Dead and vampiric, i.e. it may come out and try to bite you
4. Dead and fossilized, i.e. people don't even know that it existed (except a few specialists)

I start believing in answer 4. A few days ago I posted a tweet (one of my rare ones I admit) and never got any answer....

PS: "Learning design" as concept is not dead of course. It's best technical incarnation, LAMS, is well alive and growing. LAMS 2.4 adds several new features and will be out anytime soon.
