Michael, I take your point, but in the (CVS) past all we had was a contrib directory which we just "dumped" into the source distro. However now (in SVN) we have a much more flexible repository and some of the things that were in "contrib" are now sub-modules and are on their own path to release. For example "struts-faces", "struts-el" and "struts-flow" are now modules "el", "faces" and "flow" and "struts-chain" is now incorporated into the "core" - you can download nightly builds of all these here:
http://svn.apache.org/builds/struts/maven/trunk/nightly/ ...and at some point they will have their own release and distros. Other things that were in "contrib" are currently in the "sandbox" and they face the evolutionary test - either they'll survive and get promoted or they will go the "extinction" route. At this point in time (before any 1.3.x releases) I think its a case of making a sensible judgement between compatibility with previous releases and not worrying too much about what was in large part "sandbox" code. For anyone where this is an issue, then all of these things are still available through the SVN repository.

But I don't use any of those libraries in a production app, so I can't say it wouldn't really impact me.
