I haven't used dyna beans or modules but that doesn't make them not part of
the core struts features. Also, just because some future technology may
make a struts feature obsolete, does not reduce its importance. I stand by
the belief that without tiles and validator (or any other core feature)
struts looses utility. You may not use every feature but many people use
the ones you don't.
Separating tiles and validator is simply not a good idea.
