I think our priorities should be:

* Breathe activity back into cli - which means getting passed the
impasse it has arrived at by dumping cli-1.0 support from the 2.0 jar.
* Support old cli 1.0 users with a minor bugfix version, 1.0.1.
* Consider 1.0 and Avalon facades to 2.0.

The Avalon one is worth finding out more about - especially if people
think it's an improvement over the current cli2 code. It'd also be
interesting to know why it's not an excalibur component - I thought
that project was still slightly active.

So my suggested plan is:

1) Create 1.x branch. Dump 2.x, avalon code from it.
2) Create Avalon branch. Dump 2.x, 1.x code from it.
3) Dump 1.x, avalon code from trunk.
4) Split bugs into 1.x or 2.x bugs.
5) Release 1.0.1 and 2.0-rc1.
6) Reassess situation. Including facade creation to support other
projects, and release of avalon branch.

I've gone ahead with 1, 2 and 3 tonight. There are now two branches:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/cli/branches/avalon-implementation/
and
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/cli/branches/cli-1.0.x/

CLI-2 is in the trunk.

Andrew's doing a good job at reviewing bugs and adding tests and comments.
