New-and-shiney! I've been involved in Open Source for ~30+ years; the
lunging after the new-and-shiney, and these days: let's build the most
impossibly complex tool chain and build system possible - is exhausting
[not to mention, for many smaller projects, even trying to
find|identity the "official" repository+branch]. The tool-set mania has
certainly diminished my level participation; there are so many barriers
before getting to the point.

I am grateful that Sourceforge has been there, steadily making
improvements. Their current platform is very nice.
