well, in principle he's right, but it's still a pretty uninformed rant. i guess we can be excused to not have pursued JCR integration and get 2.0 out first. if we hadn't done so, lenya would have disintegrated by now.
but a lesson could be learnt from this nonetheless: we should try to tie into apache (and other projects we re-use) more than we currently do, and we need to make sure that people know what's sandbox and what's a product. (now that we have a product for the first time in years, that should be a lot easier >;->) i'm sure JCR will be re-considered (although i would also like to bring eXist into the discussion). but then there's also the move to cocoon 2.2, blocks and spring - i wonder which should be handled first. then there's people who feel that lenya should become more independent of cocoon (thorsten and andreas, if i have understood them correctly), and others (well, me) that think that lenya should become more cocoon-ish and expose and handle more stuff through sitemaps and pipelines than it currently does. lots of stuff to do for a small community...
