Dear fellow Cocoon users and devs,

The past years have seen a significant decline in the participation of 
Cocoon's development team.
Even though Cocoon remains fairly widely used to this day, there is no 
longer enough interest to continue maintaining this project.
Thanks to Christofer's work, we tried to revive activity last year by 
releasing Cocoon 2.3. While this initiative generated a true resurgence 
of interest during that period, the following months revealed that there 
were no longer enough active developers to keep the project alive.

Last August, the developers voted [1] to move Cocoon to the Attic [2]. 
It is now time to say goodbye to this beautiful project.

On a personal note, having worked with Cocoon for 22 years, I feel a bit 
sad to let it go, but all good things must come to an end...

On behalf of the Cocoon PMC,
Cédric
