What would probably happen is that the 'default' for questions would
shift over time, and the [action2] (or whatever) email subject tag
would naturally phase out.  This isn't about branding the framework,
but just trying to sort out the questions on the mailing list.

It may be that all we need to to is politely, repeatedly, insist that
people follow the guidelines that Michael mentioned, and state up
front what version they're using.  Whether it's in the subject line or
in the text of the message doesn't matter to me, but this is something
that's not happening now.

The maven users list had good luck with [m1] and [m2] prefixes.  The
Tomcat users list supports 4.1, 5.0 and 5.5 without using subject line
tags.  So it can work either way. :)
