Problem

Since TJ left the project and it became "property" of StrongLoop the project is slowly dying. I guess you (StrongLoop) promised TJ and thus a community to continue to maintain the code. Sure you want to push part of express users to use yours solutions and to make money on support. But open-source gave a start to your company and if you don't want to share back your code and time, just give a control back to community
