no one used the mailing list or jira to open tickets. If we'd had lots of people asking "we'd really like to use this feature, but it's not stable enough" we'd have fixed it, stabilised it and matured it. But my feeling was that if I did this, it would be for all of about 5 users. Jess is there, it's free to use and very mature, I think if people want CLP they end up just using Jess. If Jess wasn't there, then there would be more demand.
