Yes, there has been plans to replace clearsilver for quite some time 
now, imho. django templates might be a good alternative but there might
be better options.
Besides just rewriting/replacing all our templates we need to decide if 
we should rip out all hdf-related code at the same time (and break a lot
of existing code/plugins) or to use a hdf-emulation layer to begin with.
