But supported by a company which will do not switch for another recipes.
We deploy on various systems, that's why we created minitage both as sysadmins
and developers efforts.

We have a tracker, mails & irc and we don't like to have spending bugs for a
long time ;)

If minitage is dead, all our current deployments (lot of projects) there will be
in bad shape. Just a word to say that you ll have years to see it dead.

This is not only the way to do, and i told you the alternatives like doing with
mr.developer.
That depend on your feelings and habits and use cases.

I like very much both my recipes and mr.developer,
When i need to apply a small change, mostly for upstream approval, i go for
minitage.recipe.scripts. Or for a single patch without hacking, (ZODDB +
RelStorage, for example), i go also for minitage.recipe.scripts.
But for more deeper hacking, i'd go for mr.developer.*

After that, there are much more things in minitage.recipe.* that zc.equivalent,
that i can't do without forking them and that's that i ve done that, some years
ago. Now their code is too much different, and it was not a primary goal too, to
merge back. Specially for minitage integration, even if you are not tied with
minitage by using only the recipes, i don't think the code integrating it
belongs to any zc.recipe.*.
