If you can only use a framework that only bundles everything into one monothlitic 
distribution, then yes you should. We tried that, and it is clearly not working. If 
monolithic is the only way we could do things in the future, then I would go emeritus 
myself.

If you would prefer a granular framework that lets you install only the components 
that you use, then stick around. Since the current committers are obviously too busy 
to work on Struts, we're going to need more people willing to do what needs to be 
done. But we can only use people who are willing to be team players and seek win-win 
paths that work for everyone. The only thing a my-way or the highway attitude is going 
to get someone is a street map.

As far as things like taglibs go, personally, I think we should support the community 
in doing what the community wants to do, so long as the solution is secure, 
specification-compliant, and vendor-neutral.

Once we are more granular, we could even consider things like a Struts taglib that 
relied on JavaScript, if there were people to develop and support it. We can't do that 
now, since there is only one distribution, and we don't want to compel people to rely 
on JavaScript. But as a separate Struts subproject, it is something what we could 
consider.
