Redundant only if you're using the appropriate prerequisites. As a practical matter, not everyone can migrate as quickly as they might like. In the 2.x series, the JSTL argument would have some technical merit. In the 1.x series, it is not applicable to everyone in our target base. Of course,

Thank you for reminding us of that - seems (nearly) everyone (except you, I, and [ probably still ] Craig) wants to do that in 1.2.0 and that was, at the time we decided to make 1.2.x move to an incremental build system, determined to be more than 1.2.0 should entail. open-mouth/ insert-foot/
