Well, the Struts NG reference in my mail was meant to recall our naming
discussions when the merger between Struts and WebWork took place. We
decided against it, and I think it's too late now to go that way - what
came out as Struts 2 was actually the "Next Generation", something
breaking - now we're improving "only" :) I don't recall exactly if I was
for or against "Struts NG" as one of the supposed names, but nowadays I
think we should have been better off choosing a name without a version
tag (not necessary NG). That is what the PS was really about...

We made "Struts 2" a brand, the basic question seems to be - do we want
to rebrand or not? If we do rebrand, I think the logical way is to call
it "Struts 3". But we have to be aware that this causes some other
problems. Is a Struts 2 book good for learning Struts 3 (yes, not
comparable to Struts 1 vs. Struts 2). What do people find at Google?
Will they search for Struts 3, Struts 2 or both to find useful
information (a lot of information for Struts 2 will still apply for 3).
Do we need new Logos? And there is even more if you dig deeper, I guess.
