Separate JIRA instances is mostly a necessary evil at the moment, as
merging JIRA databases isn't possible, so we couldn't merge in Webwork.
It does have its advantage of isolating problems as you say. I've
attached a mail with further details.
Also, if the Struts JIRA has problems, please report them to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Griping on the dev list won't help :)

There is an equally strong sentiment amongst infra people, because one
Jira is easier to maintain than 4 (and counting) and uses less memory.
However, merging relational datasets is not the easiest thing to do.
Conflicts potentially arise with users, permission schemes, notification
schemes, custom fields, field screens.. pretty much every admin-level
object that relates to a project. Inter-project issue links may break,
user dashboards refer to now nonexistent projects, etc.
The relevant feature request for JIRA is:
http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-1604
A simpler approach is to allow single sign-on by reusing a single user
database (userbase). This would require some work on OSUser, the library
JIRA uses for user/profile management:
http://opensymphony.com/osuser/
Specifically, although OSUser allows two differently configured
ProfileProviders, they would both reuse the same PropertySet instance
(where user profile details are looked up). Some work needs to be done so
that each ProfileProvider can be configured with its own PropertySet.
I've been playing around on my laptop, but can't promise anything.
Hope that clarifies things :) Feel free to forward to people who might be
inclined to vote for the issue above.
