I'd be +1 to retire 2.1.x

Even if I have fond memories of it, as it was my first major apache project.

However it's grown quite old technically and refreshing things would be a huge 
effort. Some of the jvm versions needed are no longer available and I failed to 
even build it on 1.8.

Don't think it's worth the effort :-(

I'd vote +/-0 here ...
Definitively the toughest for me ...
I still heavily use Cocoon 2.1 core, but I recognize that it's an very
old piece of software, and that maintaining it here would demand more
and more work.

Perhaps it could be wiser to also let it go, and then fork the core
elsewhere if needed with a new build system, without all block stuff, ...
I'm curious to see what will others say about it.
