There's no release in the GH repo (none at all)

Hi @bs76 , at this moment metabrowse support is experimental and we are still not sure if we will continue supporting it in future.

Moreover, it seems that for now, we support only a set of Scala 2.12 and 2.13 versions

[bs76]

Ok, how about hiding it away now, or marking as experimental ? Otherwise it looks like it's not finished.

Hit this myself today.

Seems like if it's not being maintained it should just be removed, and considered for possible re-addition later.

I also got a similar error:

$ scala-cli browse foo

Metabrowse is now gone, shall we close this?
