My past experience with open source projects leads me to believe that
having more than one main development area that is leading to a release
is likely to cause only confusion, not progress towards functionality.
In my opinion if we call head 2.0 and start adding JEE 5 features to
it, there will never be any more j2ee 1.4 releases with added
functionality. We will have a couple bug fix 1.0 releases, then a year
or so while we try to finish JEE 5. I don't think this is acceptable.
From my experience working on the Apache HTTP Server, I agree with David.
