I think in principle the ladder is active but nobody has issued
any challenges. GNU Go (for example) has usually only issued challenges
when we felt we would probably win, and it seems GNU Go would
still be the underdog against Many Faces.

An unfortunate irregularity is that Go4++ was allowed to enter
the ladder in the middle (above GNU Go and other programs)
instead of working its way up from the bottom as every other
program did.
