Oh ok I think I was just tired, I realize now what he was implying.
You thought I was trying to push our ENTIRE merged plugin. My mistake in wording.
Dumbcourse standalone is still available where it always was:
I though you meant forcing on jtechforums users, sorry 
Four our use case, so many specific features we needed were too hard to manage as separate plugins so we made something custom to us, but all the standalone dumbcourse code is still at the link above.
You can fork, or if you want to contribute, I can ask @TripleU to unarchive.
