Oh, I see what you mean. Sure, why support something you already have a replacement for? Just take it out of the build and move them to an "extras" distribution for others to get -- they should no longer come as part of the standard distribution.
BTW... Right now, the plugins are part of S2 release. I think if the plugins could be independently developed and released like Maven plugins, you would have no problem doing this. I was once against this approach because it would be difficult to find which core and plugins were releted, but I would like to reconsider this. Therefore, push S3 plugins into "org.apache.struts.plugins" groupId and let them develop their own lifecycle.
