+ <p><b>Interceptors externalized:</b> In the great modular tradition
+ of JBoss, Scott Stark commits code that fully externalizes the
interceptor
+ configuration. Need to add a particular logger or monitoring of
+ users for ASP? you can now specify on a bean basis what stacks your
+ beans will see "a la carte". In keeping with the "ease of use"
tradition
+ we still ship JBoss Server with standard pre-configured stacks and
+ containers.
+ <p><b>Growing Pains:</b> In the words of Vaughn Vernon in the February
+ release of <a
href="http:http://www.sys-con.com/java/archives/0602/vernon/index_i.html">Java
+ Development Journal</a>, <i> "how long can a group like JBoss go
+ on without some nontechnical assistance? A large-scale project like
+ this will eventually begin to have some large-scale needs. In the
+ spirit of the Linux and Apache projects, I believe that a project
+ of JBoss' magnitude is a natural fit for large-scale financial
support."
+ </i> Folks complain about the lack of developer follow-up and other
+ problems, current core coders respond "we are swamped". Today JBoss
+ is an exploding group and it needs financing.
