The bootstrap compatibility issue has been discussed before (e.g., http://apache-tapestry-mailing-list-archives.1045711.n5.nabble.com/The-Bootstrap-Backward-Compatibility-Problem-td5724245.html to which you commented) but I don't think anything ever got beyond the talk phase. Everybody agrees that Tapestry should (and does) work really well with bootstrap, but I wish the mechanism were abstracted enough (e.g. with template skinning) that users could choose which version to use (or none).
