With our 2.1 distribution (as with earlier distributions) we are

planning to make the geronimo-framework assembly available in a
distribution so that a user could start from scratch (not even a
web container) and build up a server by installing plugins?
That was the original intent when we created this assembly. I know
that the originally framework included enough deployment capability
to deploy plugins. However, I'm not certain that is still the case
(I haven't tried in a long time). Assuming you can still install
plugins (or we add that back in), I think it makes sense to
distribute this assembly. BTW, I'm not proposing this for 2.1 given
that it is nearly completely baked.
All the framework assembly can do is install plugins. I think we
should definitely distribute it in the future and I am proposing we
distribute it for 2.1 as well. IIUC in any case it will get into the
maven repos, so adding it to the official download page shouldn't be
too hard.
thanks for noticing it was missing :-)
