Hi We will discuss "the future of clerezza" this week. Currently, I agree with Bertrand's opionen. IMO main problem was/is some fundamental differences in the course of action between clerezza committers. So, we developed a lot of CMS modules on top of clerezza but did not contribute any of these utils, tools etc.
