The "attic" is used (in previous non-hipster software development
times) as the place for storage of outdated/dead etc code Now days
it is called github :-).<br>

I suspect you're onto something here; it's not a
phrase that's even in<br>
my GIS vernacular. Don't even recall it from college
experience<br>
(though I took French and majored in civil
engineering; amazing I'm<br>
not mapping professionally)...<br>

True. I think "attic" in this case would refer to a place
where you store old things, so it relates to old data.<br>

<div>Based on zero context other than what list it arrived
on, I figured it was like tags from an import nobody uses
anymore, like some of the long-in-tooth <font
face="monospace, monospace">tiger:*=*</font> namespace
still common in the US.</div>
