BINGO -- There is a rule on revolutionary developements in ASF which is pretty much abridged by this comment, Craig, and made worse by your repeating it. If you are doing revolutionary development, the ASF rule is, as I understand it, that you don't pretend to have superceded the present until after your develpment is finished, a vote is taken, and you prevail. Your development with Shale is not only revoltionary, it is, in the Struts world, anarchy. So, I would assume you would want to follow the rule and not bad mouth what you are trying to change until someone says (a) you are done and have something to propose: (b) a vote is taken; and (c) you prevail. This constant carping against Struts is not seemly when your ideas may never be accepted. I guess one way of grabbing power in a Machievellian way and with a philosophy of nihilism is to create confusion and division. This comment has already done that, and no doubt your continued endorsement will continue to create more confusion.
I believe in Darwin as does Ted in these matterrs. But, someone is poisoning the pond and giving their own duckies, in my opinion. If there is a different rule on advocating Shale-Struts as Struts.next for Craig, that is understandable.
