Well, as you mentioned, another way to go would be for some one to write a tool that
could burst and rejar an arbitrary set of jars. (If one doesn't already exist.) The
source for such a tool could live in the core since it's just something a volunteer
would run offline and the upload. It wouldn't be a true deliverable. And, I'm not
convinced that we even need to do such a thing. Even without a few extra JARs of our
own, there are still all the Commons JARs. (Though I suppose we could roll together
those too.) I'd tend to leave this for a end-user to do, say if there were
distributing a particular Struts distribution to several teams in an enterprise. But
it would be nice to provide a tool for this (if someone had the itch to write it.) It
really sounds like a job for Sun :)

And in deciding how to renovate our house, let's keep in mind that we may be having
more children :)
How about if we split the difference:
core module:
/core
/site
/apps
opt-modules:
* opt-taglib
* opt-el
* opt-faces
* opt-dev ("sandbox")
So, we'd go from seven to five.
Then, later on, if we invite some of our friends to join us, and they move in, we just
add more opt modules.
