Why is albert gone from the community repo?
I just noticed albert wasn't found, hence skipped when I ran the last update. 
Can there some kind of reasoning be found somewhere which I could perhaps read?

tl;dr it's now proprietary (source-available) software and infringes on the copyright of past contributors.

Eli, thank you for the swift reply.
Well. Imho that felt like an unfortunate read, but a fully understandable one. Hopefully the project's maintainer will see/receive/build some positive motivation to achieve a solution which makes it possible to package the program again.
