Are they judging the software, or the "project"?

In my activitiy as a "branch merger", as well as reading the mailing
list, I see the activity of the Emacs project in a fair amount of
detail.  It's quite clear to me that while the Emacs project is
obviously old (hard to change that :-), it's neither "tired" nor
"moribund"; indeed, sometimes I rather wish people would be a bit _less_
enthusiastic about making changes.... :-/

[Note that I'm all for moving to more modern tools.  Subversion is
probably not a great choice though -- if we're going to change, we
should change to one of the distributed systems like git.]
