I think we've hit the point where large framework changes like the 
ExecutionContext and the security redesign have so much of an impact on higher 
level code and on large numbers of people in the community that it is unlikely 
they will be implemented and pushed out. If they were to be completed there 
would then be a TON of stuff that could be cleaned up and eliminated from the 
framework, which would also be great, but also have a lot of impact on 
people/organizations and on existing code.

This is not really likely, and probably not really a good idea. That's why I 
started a separate project to incorporate many redesign ideas for the framework 
(ie Moqui), and it is structured differently to help with certain other 
difficulties we're having in OFBiz (ie framework only instead of full stack, 
fully moderated instead of community-driven, etc). Anyway, I put together a 
list a while ago with all of the major differences between Moqui and the OFBiz 
Framework and that is still easily available on the Moqui SourceForge site in a 
forum post. Of course, Moqui is also just a design exercise so far and I 
haven't started any implementation (not that I haven't been itching to for a 
while... ;) ).
