I'm not aware of any general policy on this, but I'd imagine that the
idea is to keep as up to date as possible in the main CVS branch.
Updating JBossCX to PFD2 is something I've been intending to do for
a while (I even logged a job-thingy at SourceForge to remind
myself). I've had other priorities for a while (and will continue to
have them for a while longer, I hope).

I don't think it's necessary to worry too much about backward
compatibility in the main CVS branch. You'd need to update the
jboss-j2ee interfaces, the JBossCX stuff and the bundled resource
adapters (the JDBC ones from JBossPool and the JMS one from wherever
its source is).
If you want to do this, I'd be grateful. Submit a patch to SourceForge
and I'll try to find time to review and commit it.
Toby.
