I'm just a lowly user, so I may be out of place joining this
conversation, but my impression has always been:

Excalibur = general (smaller) components (container agnostic)
Cornerstone = Reusable Phoenix blocks
Apps = full-blown standalone applications (usually based on Phoenix)

So I always thought Excalibur sorta was the "Avalon Library".

I agree though that it would be nice if there was more clarification on
where Avalon-related projects belong.  I've started putting together an
SF project of my own for more "generic" Avalon components and I know
others have mentioned doing the same.  This trend concerns me a little
since it scatters the developer community and makes finding all these
components and projects harder. Perhaps an Avalon Library would help,
even if the first step is to host it on SF or in the sandbox before it
ends up in the Library.

Point is, one of the advantages of the Avalon framework is re-usability
of components.  It seems like there should be a better mechanism to
achieve this.
