We seem to have this same discussion with great frequency. Struts 1.x is committed to maintaining backward compatibilty which includes maintaining the base Servlet API requirement at 2.2. Struts 2.x will move that requirement to 2.3 (possibly 2.4 but that seems premature).
Struts 1.2 will include some enhancements but the major change will be a move to commons-resources for messaging. I believe there is unanimous agreement that 1.1 took too long to release so we plan to limit the scope of each new release.
Feel free to submit patches and bugfixes to help speed up the process.

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/status.html states:
"Struts 1.2.x will include additional functional enhancements along the same lines as Struts 1.1. The platform requirements will remain the same (Servlet 2.2 / JSP 1.1)."
I missed that discussion.
(Deprecation to me means it will be dropped in some future release)
I was hoping to suggest that Tomcat 3 be deprecated (and maybe even JDK 1.3) and deprecate logic tag and bean tag as well.
(and start looking at TC5 )
And move ALL tags to another Jar (same package names) to start SLOWLY porting jsp tags to Jakarta tag lib over time.
Even some commons servlet request util could be made more generically useful at commons.
I imagined 1.2 as no new code / features, just a few more fixes and above deprecations. (and move up EL. )
I imagined 2.0 as some contrib. level for light SOAP. (unless we all go JSF :-P )
Oh well.
