Some have but there are not enough of us. The reply is "there is no 
interest in the slow modes" or "there is too little interest in the 
slow modes".

My opinion:

There are many thousands of people using the software on HF, 
especially since the release of FT8 mode. From this group comes a 
steady pressure for new features and changes. There are many 
hundreds of well established users on VHF and EME. How many of us on 
LF? Out of that number, how many are interested in the slow modes 
WSPR-15 and slow JT9? Out of that number, how many have made a 
direct and heartfelt request to the developers about putting these 
modes in the new software? We come down to a very small number of 
voices asking for these modes.

Unless we can get a lot more of us to ask, I think we have seen the 
last of support for these modes.
