Yes. There might also be some discussion whether we will start new
Velocity projects inside the TLP at all.

Not sure here.

That is the usual Language/Tool clash. If there were a (hypothetical)
Apache .NET TLP, would nVelocity go there or to us?

Click: yes. Turbine: no.
Reason: Click is built intimately around Velocity. Turbine just
happens to treat Velocity as a first class citizen but there is no
reason why you couldn't use any other templating solution or JSP with
Turbine. And the templating is just a very small part of Turbine at
all.
