Not really. I am still fully behind the 2.1 release plan (as long as it remains about 'doing 2.0 more or less right', and not about second attempt at trying to work around the existing design limitations). However, if the pressure mounts to strictly follow the Jakarta release guidelines, I will str

That's not a bad idea, but I would definitely like to avoid having any more than one officially sanctioned jar file. It's quite simple for people to build their own uber-jar if needed. Personally, I don't see any problem with adding a dependency for 2.1. If anyone does have an issue with this
