It's not about the lingering issues, it's about signing the release and deploying the Maven artifacts, and all that. I've never actually done that part of it myself. By the time I got all the the Javadoc and wikidoc stuff sorted out yesterday, I just ran out of steam :(
If someone wants to tag r447072 and deploy the Maven artifcats, that would be fine with me. The distributions uploaded to builds/struts were run as version 2.0.0, and we would just need to rename the files. Otherwise, I'll try again on Sunday morning. -Ted.

I vote for tagging it now, despite these lingering issues. We need something, anything, and will have plenty of time to smooth the release out. The code is looking good, so thanks to everyone who is helping push this out.
