To summarize a dozen or so emails on the one container versus many 
approach and why each is the only way, there is no resolution.

But there is no need for resolution, and here is why, or at least if I 
am understanding it correctly.

Let's say we were all Tomcat guys instead of working on Avalon.

If we had a default Tomcat, one just like the one now, everything would 
be fine.

Then, we could still have microTomcat
and embeddedTomcat
and a special cocoonTomcat
and a sandboxTomcat
and anything else we wanted, and the market would not see it as bad, nor 
as a dilution of the brand.

The other Tomcats would probably be mostly ignored, but that is OK.

Just so long as there was one real banana. One Tomcat that always worked 
the best, always was the default, etc. Just like the current Tomcat !

So you can have your cake and eat it too. Just have a default container, 
one with everything, that does everything, one that follows all the 
rules. Lesser or special purpose containers wouldn't hurt a bit. You 
might want to hide them from the main pages a bit, but that is a 
different matter.

Because the only thing that is hurting Avalon right now is not knowing 
which one to use, and not having one that is most perfect. Otherwise, 
choice is not bad, just shows how powerful Avalon can be. Or at least 
that is the way it seems to me.
