A user found a pretty big bug in XWork 2 that will need to be fixed
before it can go final. I'm working on it now and should hopefully be
done with it in the next few days. I think for this release Rainer will
use the Struts 2-style release process so we could upgrade the quality
if we are happy with it after the release.
Afterwards, I think branching for 2.1.x is a good idea and I agree with
the feature set.

I'd be happy to roll Struts 2.0.3 as soon as there's a new XWork 2.
Then perhaps we should dub the head 2.1.x for the Ajax tag
reorganization, since there will be backward compatibility concerns.
If we need any more releases in the Struts 2.0.x series, we can always
go back and branch at 2.0.3. There are a number of issues slotted for
2.0.3/2.0.x, but they are mainly feature requests that could be rolled
over to 2.1.0/2.1.x.
I do wonder if we should bring up Don's Java template plugin from the
sandbox, and utilize Bob's improved ValueStack, to see if S2
performance with the *simple* theme might be in the same ballpark with
S1, apples to apples.
Obviously, S2/WW2 does perform well enough in production: witness
Confluence and Jive. But, we need to recognize that the bloggers will
be all over the benchmark numbers, and we might want to be proactive.

Another update: let's put this off till we get a GA release.
Unfortunately, it looks like it will take more time that I have due to
the way the dojo code is embedded in even the simple theme. Another
issue is how the new tags would extend the old. In case of ones that
add a bunch of new properties, like div, currently they extend this
abstractcallingui something bean. Well, if the new tag exteded the
normal Div component, it wouldn't be able to extend this other bean,
which has all the new properties. Basically, this means there will be
a bunch of copy/pasted code both in Components and JSP tags.
XWork 2 is looking like it will go final any day now, so let's push
for a GA Struts 2 release next week.
