I posted this to JIRA (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-399), but 
was told to post it here instead:

================
After having used the 1.1.1 release for a while, I attempted to use the 1.1.3 
Snapshot with very disappointing results at compile time. Public classes and 
methods had moved and vanished wholesale. I looked back at the 1.1.1 code and 
did not see deprecation notices for the classes I noticed had changed. 

For example, org.apache.myfaces.component.html.util.AddResource moved to 
org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.util.AddResource and the static method 
getInstance is gone. There may be valid reasons for doing this, but such 
drastic changes should not have a version number change that implies bug fixes 
and very minor tweaks. If 1.1.3 breaks 1.1.1 builds it is time to move up to 
1.2. 
================


I will add that it seems odd that project management issues are not also 
tracked in JIRA.  From the big bold header on the JIRA home page, JIRA is for 
"Bug Tracking, Issue Tracking, & Project Management."  Having a multiplicity of 
submission channels defeats the power of tracking, monitoring, searching, and 
consolidating provided by tools like JIRA.
