Well I guess you are looking at it from a different angle. The framework
package (org.apache.framework atm) is something that we go beta with soon.
It contains code that we are 100% willing to support and nothing more.
While camelot and atlantis fit under the banner of framework they are not
widely enough applied to be considered 100% stable. Hence they can not go
beta and thus can not go into that package.
org.apache.avalon.* will eventually hold just components (pools/db
pools/caches/thread-management etc). Atm it holds a little more
(processor+camelot+atlantis packages) because they are not stable.
The advantage is that we can now comfortably go beta with framework.* so it
could be used in other projects like Cocoon2/Ant2/Other without any
reservations. The components can still safely evolve as appropriate while
relying on solid base.
Cheers,
Pete
