I think the point that people are missing is that Struts Classic is
not a product, it's a distribution of products. Struts Core is one
product, Struts Taglibs is another. Each has it's own release cycle
and can be distributed separately.

As a convenience, we plan to bundle the GA releases for the six
original subprojects into a single distribution, for downloading
convenience.

:) Which begs another moniker. Instead of Struts Classic, we could
also call the distribution Struts Original. :)

As it stands, we don't want there to be one Struts, since one Struts
can't serve everyone's needs right now. Some of us want to rewrite our
applications for new technologies like JSF. Others want to continue to
evolve the applications we already have and avoid drastic change.
Since we have volunteers who want to do both, we do both.

Sure, if this was about capturing marketshare, we'd pick a horse and
label it Struts 2.x. But it's not about marketshare, it's about
working together to create and maintain the framework we want to use
to ship our own applications. Since no one's come up with a way to
create one framework that will serve everyone's needs right now, the
only option left is multiple frameworks.
