One reason is that we may need something like this for harmony...

I think the general view of the CORBA support is that of a
"necessary evil". It is required for J2EE certifcation, but is
not generally seen as critical to most Geronimo deployments. My
personal view of the priorities is "get it working, get it
portable". Issues such as additional uses or higher peformance
are things to consider after the primary requirements are fullfilled.
Can I ask why portability is critical? Most VM's (with one notable
exception) use the Sun ORB so depending on it doesn't seem such a
big deal to me, especially if its a necessary evil. I agree support
for J2SE 5.0 is essential, but its pretty easy to write code that
supports both 1.4 and 5.0 ORBs.
