Abiword being removed from Debian/unstable?

I was checking whether a new version of Abiword was available in
Unstable and decided to see what was holding the current Unstable
version from moving into Testing (at
http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/abiword.html).

Clicking on the "Check why" link for why it's not there, it looks like
Abiword is scheduled for removal from Sid. See
http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=abiword

I'm not a Debian developer at all, so I'm not sure if this is a "common"
occurence. But as a (relatively inexperienced) user it sounds like
Abiword is being pulled for some reason. (I don't know how to find out
what that reason is.)
