True, but what is a 'subproject' is not precisely defined and they are usually fairly coarsely grained. For example, Spring does have independently released subprojects, but the main Spring release is a lot more than just the their IOC container, it comes with a whole bunch of related components - spring-aop, spring-jms, spring-jpa, etc - that they deem make the release useful and interesting, and that they have tested are all at compatible levels. Also, all those components are generally only released together rather than having lots of separate independent releases. This seems generally the case looking across most other projects vaguely similar to us. ...ant
