+0. Doesn't matter to me. While there's no reason to intentionally break backward compatibility, there's also no reason to let non-adoption of Servlet 3.0 interfere with JSF 2.2 development. The platforms my client uses only supported Servlet 2.5 until last month, so we've stuck with MyFaces 2.1 for that reason, but I don't expect MyFaces 2.2 development to stop just because I can't upgrade my projects.
