Just some unsolicited observations on Support & Care projects. In January, we were introduced to Maven Initializer
https://github.com/support-and-care/maven-initializer which seems to compete with Maven Archetypes, by hosting a website in docker with Node.js. Now we're seeing doc-for-maven, which seems to compete with Maven Site documentation, and is built with Python and Rust. Does 'modern' mean 'replace existing functionality with tools written in other languages'? Feels weird to me.
