Yep, absolutely agree. Will allocate "feature.transform" subpackage in core, 
your option (2). I think both features (XSLTFeature and StaxTransformFeature) 
are semantically very close, so it makes sense potentially to keep them in the 
same package.
Do you think it also OK to put interceptors in the same package with feature? 
Actually is designed differently, for example GZIPFeature located in the same 
package with interceptors, Logging and StaxTransform - in different. If yes, 
probably makes sense to name the package just "transform" instead 
"feature.transform"?

Regards,
Andrei.

Or may be allocate to it "feature.transform" subpackge with the idea of moving 
the stax feature to it too at the later stage - if you'd like to keep both 
features in the same package. As I said even "org.apache.cxf.feature" would 
work :-) but it immediately add one more migration issue if, at some point of 
time, we decide to find a new home module for the features

Cheers, Sergey
