I believe it would be better to roll Struts 1.2.1 *before* the new releases of the other Commons dependencies arrive.
I'd like to try rolling the Commons Validator 1.1.3 tomorrow, and then roll Struts 1.2.1 the next day. If Commons Validator 1.1.3 then goes "stable", Struts 1.2.1 would be in a position to follow suit. As the dominoes fall :), we can bring the Struts-Chain up from contrib, reorganize the repository to better support Maven and subprojects, release 1.3.0, along with the new Struts Scripting and Struts BSF subprojects, Don has waiting in the wings :) -Ted.
