It helps if you pay attention to the whole thread. Cocoon 2.0
is well on its way to a final release. You have misconstrued
the existence of Cocoon 2.1 as the quest for the bleeding edge.
You will find that the only difference between the two really
is the existence of more Components for your use.

I think you are optimistic of sales numbers, however, there
is considerable interest. People are more interested in
Quick and Dirty (Q&D) development, so technologies like
JSP, ASP, and PHP thrive. When it comes to maintenance
of the site--well, that's when Cocoon shines.

Cocoon needs formal testing--but you will find that Cocoon 2 beta 2
is MORE production worthy than Cocoon 1.x due to the fact that it
scales much better.
