For the market as a whole, it just means there will be two open source
impementations of the spec.

Just as a minor question, if the ASF accepts the CDDL license as apache2 compatible, wouldnt it make more sense, to base future myfaces-core versions directly on the ri and try to improve the core code from there?
After all, we have sort of a reinventing the wheel situation there
which was caused by licensing issues in the past.
Wouldnt it be better to have most of the work going into tomahawk
and other extensions and push myfaces sort of into the direction
of an improved RI?

Would be possible. Only, we know from experience and code inspection that the MyFaces implementation is a lot more stable than the current Sun RI (although lower on code documentation).
