I understand that you're saying not to include the nested taglib in CVS?
That would really be a shame: if you read the struts-users mailinglist,
you see tons and tons of questions about iterating and how to acquire
the index and how to let struts fill out the appropriate beans. So not
including this solution would (1) make the 'common' user unhappy,
because he misses something essential, and (2) make the more savvy
volunteers on struts-users unhappy, because they keep having the same
questions over and over again, and last but not least, (3) would make
Arron unhappy, because he donates something which is then thrown away,
while I trust he would make valuable contributions to both the nested
taglib and the rest of Struts.

Moreover, as "keeping struts lightweight", I do all of a sudden see
commits of a "scaffold" package, which has neither been discussed nor
mentioned in the past on this mailinglist.

I think the nested package of Arron deserves at least the same treatment
of the scaffold package, i.e. putting it in the contrib dir would at
least give him some appreciation for his effort.

Ted, I acknowledge and appreciate that you do much for this community,
but I also think you should allow others to help and support them in
carrying out their ideas.
