http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/plan/overview/roadmap.html: The follow is a list of items that are planned for the next minor release of Cocoon (2.2). [...snip...] - Deprecate (not remove!) XSP (and provide a viable alternative). .... I guess we never got round to formally deprecating it. Perhaps we should deprecate it, write a guide on alternative patterns (ie show how much easier it is to develop/maintain Cocoon apps without it), and then see what demand there is to port it to 2.2?
