We had 2 more mentors, but they stepped down due to lack of time. Regarding the binary dependencies. Wasn't the discussion on general@ more focused on (or raised because of) transitive dependencies which were brought into the build and not being AL-compatible? In our case they're all AL compatible [#1], so that should be fine. We try to look very carefully to this issue. For instance, recently we added cobertura+sonar support, which weren't AL compatible so we had some discussion [#2] about the suitability of including them, given the fact that they were not going to be used to build the main war. We decided to not include them b/c they weren't AL compatible. Also, the build is Ant based, so we need them to be there in order to be able to build.
