Well, having gone down the route of hiding all the turbine stuff in
JS1.4 behind thin non-turbine-specific abstractions*, I have to say this
is a good thing. Don't wish to knock turbine, but jetspeed was very
tightly coupled to it and it made portlet-writing more painful
(particularly for newcomers) than it needed to be.
