What *really* might be nice would be a handful of case studies with a war stories from the development team about creating significant sites with Struts. dIon's Pizza Hut site comes to mind. The Malamute registry would be another likely suspect. So, it wouldn't just be "send us your link" but "send us your story".

The automatic validation idea is good but responding to the update requests is still time consuming.

Problem is that some people are referencing the 1.0.2 docs instructions, so even if we do they will probably still send in requests.
On a recent request, I went to their site, there was no mention of Struts or Jakarta or Apache or even Java!!!
I'm +1 for removing it.
I'm also +1 for dumping all 'powered by' references that are invalid. I mean, its one thing to add links to sites that aren't allowed to put our logo there, but its another to get 404 or connection refused. We've had several more mentioned lately so it might be a good idea to scrub that list again and put up some more valid links and remove the bad ones.
If we think this is becoming a maintenance problem, I'll volunteer to add a task to the build that let's us validate the references by creating a resources-violators.html report when finished. I was thinking about something with a declarative search criteria or pattern.
