So what are the advantages/disadvantages of having another module at
apache, say, tapestry-stdlib vs. just moving such a component into
tapestry-core?
To me, the idea of saying "if you want to present confirmation to a
user, just use the AlertsManager and Alerts component" is more
satisifying in a tutorial than saying "create a flash-scoped message
field, etc., etc.,". However, if the AlertsManager is in a optional
library, I might not feel as good about referencing it in a tutorial
compared to if it was in tapestry-core. And if we end up effectively
mandating the user of tapestry-stdllib, how valuable is it separate
from tapestry-core.
Alternately, if we have a stdlib, do we move some of our existing
components and mixins out of core?

My gut tells me to pull as much of the system apart into independent
modules as possible. Smaller is better, easier to understand, easier
to test.
Please do it as a Tapestry subproject (tapestry-morecomponents?) instead
of
TapX or other external packages. It seems to me that people consider
anything outside the Tapestry project, even being linked from there, as
not
part of the out-of-the-box experience. Something like "feature X is so
important, but I need a third-party package to have it" (something used a
lot to criticize JSF).
