If you take something like tomcat, then yes, fantastic - jakarta open source RI, coluldn't be better. On the other hand I've seen some SIP RI's from commercial companies that really are there only for "reference". The question then is what's the future for the Faces RI? Is it going to be a proper "product" that Sun supports and develops like any of its other java products, or is it there really just as a "proof of concept" or "reference for other implementors"? Will Sun be promoting people to go implement real systems based on the RI when its "released"?
