Backward compatibility is great. Considering chain of commands, do you
really think that someone who supports a legacy app, will get to
refactor it with chain? (Unless this someone already did it a year ago
using nightly build ;-) ). I mean, how the learning curve for 1.3 CoR
compares with learning curve for WebWork and interceptors? Therefore I
have doubts that CoR will be used widely, outside of early adopters'
circle. But I am glad that it finally is about to make it officially.

So, how about clean docs/samples on using CoR? (I asked about this in
another thread). What about up-to-date MailReader? To my shame, I have
not looked into CoR since my last surge of interest in September last
year. Frankly, I am pretty happy with 1.2.x (or maybe I am just lazy).

The docs/samples will be the major factor for adoption among Struts
1.2.x public.
