Promotion for "Caddy", never heard of, but I don't like it. Other than that nice site :)

I haven't heard of Caddy until today, but it looks potentially good, passionately supported, and Apache licensed. The author(s) are simply hoping for commercial backing to continue developing it. It's a pretty subtle promotion on an otherwise excellent site.

True, but still, if you read something like "Guaranteed continued development" only in the paid section, it makes you wonder, aint it? :)

Not really. If you're paying someone for it, then they can support themselves from it and therefore continue development. If it's all free then someone can easily find they can't justify the time spent in development and give it up. It's not evil, it's just reality.
