If you follow the links on that page, it appears that all the projects
other than jing are abandoned. Even jing has a very sporadic release
history (2015 -> 2018 -> 2022). Last year at FOSDEM I gave a talk about
the state of the DocBook toolchain [0], where I found that there is
pretty much no tooling available for Relax-NG. So it's great that there
is a 2022 release of jing, but before we can consider relying on that,
it might be nice to see a bit more of a track record. (And we should
also wait a little to make it trickle in stable packages for common
operating systems.)
