I added a link to this above the mocking tools section.

While more side-by-side comparisons at the code level would certainly
be interesting, they're a lot of work to produce, and in some cases
may lead to confusion where tools are not directly solving the same
problem. A key part of this discussion  is how to make this a useful
resource without requiring huge amounts of effort from individual
maintainers, which is a model that has failed in the past.

No response here so far. I'm happy to go on weeding out dead projects
but am going to wait until this happens: it's not going to be very
useful if a lot of people are still landing on older outdated copies
of it.
