Note(s) from the Maintainer:

I participated in OLS 2008. I was exited to meet lot of people from the
community and know their personal opinion about LTP. I patiently heard
improvements to be done in LTP and the course of actions we need to
take. I will shortly start those discussions on the mailing lists. I was
happy to hear that people were happy that the project is active and
kicking. The immediate challenge before us is to increase that pace and
make it more effective, which i hope we will be able to achieve over a
period of time.

- A Linux test tools matrix
