This does seem to be the way companies are going--I have worked on three separate projects in the past few months, with exactly that goal for their web-enabled products. None of them has made it to production yet (one was cancelled, two are still in development), so I can't comment on future support issues/workload. In all three cases, comparison of the available options led to the adoption of Pluto as portlet container, with a custom-designed web application using Struts to display the portlets, handle navigation, etc. JS2 would be the ideal choice, but all three projects had a tight time-to-market constraint, and JS2 isn't ready. The hope with all was to eventually migrate to JS2 once it's stable.
The reason Jetspeed 1.x was not chosen in all cases, was because it seemed that it would be easier to migrate from a custom portal application using Pluto (and, therefore, JSR168-compliant portlets) to JS2, than to migrate from JS1.x to JS2. (Jetspeed folks, I'd love to hear what you think on this topic...)

Jetspeed and Tomcat would be shipped with each product. As a customer buys add-on products, they would just be added to their portal. Is this a good idea? Is Jetspeed suitable for such a project? Does anyone have any experience with such a portal? Problems? Suggestions? Ideas?
