No. Honestly, we did remove FreeMaker because noone that uses Turbine
seems to use FreeMaker as its View portion. The code simply started to
rot.

And we (unfortunately) have the VelocityContext class pretty deep
meshed into parts of the internal View driver of Turbine. So working
for multiple templating solutions was (with the current state of the
Turbine code) non trivial.

I plan to factor out the Template Code post-2.3 and get a "real"
Templating service which uses the various Templating Engines as
personalities transparent for the Turbine code. It should be simple to
pull FreeMarker back in here if there is demand. That's what the ":-)"
meant. Turbine is all about demand from its users.
