Why we use containous fork mux?

I noticed that traefik seems to have switched from gorilla/mux to the containous fork quite some time ago (at least v2.x). Was this change due to the lack of maintainers for gorilla/mux? Since gorilla/mux appears to be no longer archived (though it hasn't been actively updated), I am curious if there are plans to switch back to gorilla/mux, as containous has already introduced a certain level of incompatibility with gorilla. Since containous/mux seems not widely used.

You better ask the devs on Traefik Github.
