Development will happen as/when new functionality is needed - a stable product only needs maintenance. Your language implies that the project is being abandoned, which it isn't, and that there's a need for people to consider switching products - which there isn't, provided they're happy with what Exim does for them. Please allow the maintainers to do their job and stop scare-mongering.
