No maintainers for 2 years? Are you sure?

Of course! Let's go on with this Servlet Engine research project trying to
find the Holly Graal of Servlet Engines.
Costin is wasting our resources promoting the heretic idea of providing a
(argh!) production (urgh!) quality version to Tomcat potential users.
This is a very dangerous idea because users with a production level tool
are not so helpful on helping us testing if the Holly Graal of Servlet
Engines was achieved or not!!! This is the most dangerous part of this
resource division!
Of course that they must be kept unaware of this being a pure research
project in order to keep being useful for our testing purposes. They must
be keep the illusion that a production version is just around the corner!

Have fun,
