That's a fair comment. As we are mostly talking about "maintenance", I don't wait for any new big features in the short term. As said, the main concern for these guys is about jclouds as an important dependency in their project.
I can't speak on their behalf, but I assume Pulsar and Brooklyng guys (at least) want to maintain jclouds alive as dependency. Personally, I prefer to find other approaches (and it's what we do in Apache Sunny and Apache Karaf).
