RE: Hmmm.... future of cons?

I get the feeling that cons _development_ has about run its course.  Even
the original creator, Bob Sidebotham, as much as said SCons was the future
and cons the past. 

Although people have a lot of time and effort invested the only requests for
_new features_ have been for parallel builds, and no one on the list seems
to be itching to do the work. Maybe because the general feeling is that the
real development is happening on SCons? 

I think a useful goal for someone taking over cons would be to get cons into
a good resting state - fix the current web site, clarify the doc, integrate
w/consplus, etc.  IMHO having a stable non-make solution till SCons gets
fully up to speed is a worthwhile goal.  Rewriting it for clarity doesn't
really seem all that useful to me - is there a real need for both a new perl
and python solution?  The only real work being done is on SCons - whether
that was a good call or not - and I assume thats where the new features will
be going.
