Did R rattle stop updating?

Gurus,
I tried to get back to R and found that rattle needs package RGtk2 but this is not available in the CRAN anymore. Did rattle stop updating because of the removal of RGtk2?

this is not available in the CRAN anymore.

Not according to this. Togaware: Rattle: A Graphical User Interface for Data Mining using R

yea i found out about that. It's kinda weird.
First install.package(RGtk2) gives me RGtk2 is no longer available for this version of R
And then some posts in a forum directed me to here https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/
Left me the impression that this package has been archived.

As that link clearly states "LATEST NEWS: RGtk2 Available from MRAN Repository January 2022" it is up-to-date, so it should be available.

I have just installed R 4.2.0 and still RGtk2 cannot be installed despite Rattle could be installed.
