Best wait for him then? As far as I can tell, it did get enough votes: http://www.nabble.com/-VOTE--release-for-MyFaces-1.2.1-td14440257.html At the end, Matthias mentions that it didn't pass the TCK. I don't think that invalidates a PMC vote to release, though we are under some restrictions about calling it an official JSF implementation. (I"m not clear on the details here.)
