I created a proposal page on the wiki for this: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/S2WIKI/Convention%2CCodebehind+and+REST+2.3
I also opened a ticket for fixing the depenency between REST->Codebehind, which I don't see why it should exists: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2667 After taking care of that issue, and if we get to agree on the new "unknown-handler-stack" (nobody has said anything pro/against yet), we are done with the blocking concerns.
