This is the real reason for Mr. Revusky for popping up from time to
time on various ASF lists.
No ASF developer (at least as far as I can remember) has ever spread
vitriol over the FreeMarker project. Quite the contrary, a lot of ASF
people hold the project in high regard and consider it a fine piece of
software (personally, I do).
However, the same can unfortunately not be said in the opposite
direction. Mr. Revusky has left out no opportunity to belittle
projects that he considers his "competition" or "opposition" or even
"enemies".
Personally, I don't care. This will be my only posting in this
thread. For me, "rough concensus and running code" are the most
important thing. Not some (imaginary) political view or
project-bashing.
The point that Mr. Revusky consistently fails to get is, that all the
time projects don't get chosen because of a feature list or a "mine is
better than yours" comparisation.
But for other, non obvious reasons. This is how belittled projects
like Jakarta Velocity and Microsoft Windows survive. There is no
cabal.

(If you ask now, why I don't work actively on the FM list if I
consider it good: Even though FM is a decent piece of software, the
surrounding community is incompatible with me. So I've chosen to
remain passive.)
