It's just the perception of most people that there should be continuous
evolution instead of a revolution. That has been discussed here before. T5
is called Tapestry, but the term "Tapestry" is more a brand name, than the
name of the product in this case.

Personally I don't care about the issue. T5 is something completely new and
using it or not is the same question as switching or starting to use another
framework. So it's a nice opportunity for new projects, but a switch should
not be considered - from my point of view as a user - for stuff that's in
production - at least at the present stage. And ... After all it's open
source and one should be prepared to participate in the maintenance of such
frameworks - there is no vendor guaranteeing anything. It's a voluntary and
community effort. If someone is talking about "investment" then that would
mean time - not money - and everybody is free to help with the maintenance
while others might move on to something new.
