When you upgrade to tomcat 5, you won't need any *-el taglibs anymore.
The EL will be taken care of automatically by the container.
That means that when you upgrade, you just change your taglib
declarations from html-el, tiles-el etc back to html, tiles...
It makes it a non-issue!

What is supported and what is deprecated is totally up to the community.
If there are people out there who want to use and maintain the
original Struts tags, then there's no reason why they cannot remain
current.
All that has ever happened is that the current set of Committers are not

To summarize a couple of points already stated here:
The base Struts library doesn't use the EL because the JSTL requires JSP
1.2, and Struts is still supported on containers which only provide JSP
1.1. If you write your JSP code to use the same prefixes as before
(html, bean, etc.), but
As a longtime Struts Committer, I can tell you that it *is* part of the
main development tract. As Joe mentioned, the only reason it doesn't
ship with the other taglibs is because it requires a 2.3/1.2 container.
When a 2.3/1.2 container is in play, I do tell my own clients to prefer

Yes, I would say BEAN and LOGIC tags should not be used!
One should use JSTL, DisplayTag, Struts Menu, HTML-el, Tiles-el.
AFAIK EL will become main (and others deprecated) when Struts drops
support for Tomcat 3, which is planed for Struts 2.0.
I do think everyone is using EL and if they are not,
