In Turbine 2.2 the services framework will be independent of Turbine
and servlets in general, and it has a scheduler. As time goes by
I would definitely like to break parts out of Turbine and try to
get them into the commons. If you need a scheduler now then Turbine
stuff probably isn't going to fit the bill right now. But when 2.2
comes out the services framework will be independent and we will
thoroughly have the Fear of Gump in us ;-)
