Integration with JSF has been on the Struts roadmap for at least a year. We have a Struts-JSF taglib that is nearing release, and we have a proposal for Struts 2.x that builds on top of JSF. JSF is a technology that a lot of people want to use with Struts. Related topics that would also be on-topic include better integration of Struts-Next with XLST, or XForms, or Velocity, or WebWorks, or Maverick, or Spring-MVC, not to mention Perl or PHP, or even Mono. We are not "competing" with any of these technologies. We're just a merry band of working developers who are trying to get our own applications out the door, and help others do the same. Since the presentation layer is not an island, discussions of how to integrate Struts-Next with XWorks, or Commons Chain, or the Model portion of JSF are also of interest to many of us. But most of us seem to be working at a relatively high-level, and so discussions about dynamic class loading and such do tend to make the collective eyes glaze-over.
