One problem with e-mail is that you couldn't hear the doubtful tone as I
pronounced, "Well, there is this stuff", in my head. ;->
I thought it worth mentioning just in case it motivated someone to
resume code maintenance.

It does run on Linux, though. The firm employs Peter Braam (the
Intermezzo guy), and was founded by Cliff and Iris Miller after they
lost control of TurboLinux, Inc.
I didn't check the licensing, cost, or other details. It might be
feasible to use just the snapshotting code.
