Cocoon 3.0 has been my first "serious" approach to The ASF and also where I earned committership and PMC membership.

I am not pleased to admin that, but I think it is time to let it go: while its ground ideas were incredibly neat at the time, they never turned into mainstream, regrettably.

It has been even used by Syncope until 3.0.0-M0 [1] around Q4 2022.
