Thanks so much for doing this, Hubert :) I'd say that the telling point is whether it was deprecated in a prior GA release. The idea being that if someone stays current with each GA release, and resolves the deprecated items before the next GA release, they should not need to make any changes simply to use the newest release. Since 1.2.7 was a GA relesae, anything deprecated in 1.2.7 is fair game (so long as we have a documented alternative to the functionality). > > I say "core deprecations" because that's where I usually spend time > at.

The release testing for EL would be constrainted to its version of the Exercises application, so that won't be so bad to do again later. We can also cut a Struts el 1.3.1 release and include it in a future release of the Struts Classic 1.3.x distribution. Ditto for Tiles. > > Tiles, I haven't even checked yet.
