I will not reply to this mail (yet) as I don't have much time now, but
I'd like to send you my compliments for spotting these things out in
just two weeks! What you describe is IMHO a nice summary of the final
objectives we want to pursue.


Well, honestly it's been more than two weeks; but it's only been a couple
weeks since I've started diving into this area of avalon.


Personally, I think that the way out is not rewriting again from
scratch, as it will kill our momentum, but standardize on the things
that bug us and work on refactoring.


Agreed.  Rewriting wouldn't be a good idea.  However, I think there's room
in merlin for many of the ideas expressed here.  I'm starting to look into
that part now.  Hopefully I'll have something more concrete soon.


What kind of extensions are we talking about? From your doc, I can see

* Management Extensions
* Directory Extensions
* Container Components

Management extensions would include certain things like JMX support and
Instrumentation support.

Directory extensions would include JNDI integration, context value
customization, etc.

Container Components include privileged code that runs in the container
space.  Perhaps a shutdown component, or something else along those lines.

Is there anything else?
