Very wise decision.
And nothing forbids you of doing those revolutions in the future.
But at the moment, for me, my company and people/companies I know, the ONE
main priority is having a fast and robust Servlet Engine - with robust
being the priority.
Your focus on a modular architecture keeps all doors open for the
development of new features. IMO, a robust, fast enough and easily
extensible Servlet Engine would take the market.
We do NOT necessarily depend on a engine that is the "reference
implementation of..." and that has hundreds of features.
We depend on a engine we can use on production sites.
Have fun,
