Surely we copy all unsupported modules over, so that they can be
developed and tested against the 2.4 branch and made available as
optional downloads.
If the "official" release only includes supported, thats fine.
IMHO We ought to make sure though that builds of the unsupported modules
can be posted as binary downloads in amore friendly way though.
"These modules can be used to extend this release..."
[module1] Module to detect whether Schrodingers cat is just playing dead
[module2] improved coffee strength
[module3] kitchen sink
etc
Finally, if we move a module to supported on the branch, I think we must
also do the same thing on the trunk for that module.

Are you meaning the unsupported modules aren't copied over to the
stable branch? This is nonsense, and would create quite some troubles
for Geoserver, since we are providing some of the unsupported modules
as extra datastores (Oracle, MySql, anyone? Lately Oracle saw more
fixes than WFS datastore, shall we move it to unsupported as well?).
I did mean that but you are correct... that would make things pretty
tough on GeoServer.... So how about a compromise.
1. We copy over all unsupported modules to 2.4
2. We create blocker tasks against 2.4-RC0 to move
arcsde,db2,pg-versioned, and xml-* to supported
3. We ensure that any unsupported modules that remain do not into the
official 2.4 release.
What do people think?
I'd say we keep the unsupported directory in the 2.4.x branch, or
GeoServer will have to find a way to have everything in the
same source tree, at the cost of maintaining its own branch or
branching the library altogether.
