While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, I'd ask that you reserve judgement until at least the first Struts Ti release. Yes, we plan to seed Struts Ti with WebWork 2.2, but that doesn't mean it will stay that way or that Struts Action 1.x users and even code aren't important. I just started working on the Struts Action 1.x compatibility layer tonight so its too early to say, but my goal is to be able to run most Struts Action 1.xapplications unchanged on Struts Ti. Struts Ti was born with the idea of filling the gap between a new development frame of mind with JSF and Struts Action 1.x, providing Struts developers a powerful new framework that leverages their Struts knowledge, not negates it.
Furthermore, it has been said before and I'll say it again - Struts Action 1.x isn't going anywhere. Just as development continued when Shale was born, development will continue today. I have at least one major Struts Action 1.x application myself that will never see a rewrite, so if for some reason Struts Ti doesn't have full Struts Action 1.x compatibility, it'll stay on the stable, supported Struts Action 1.x. This is open source - if you are convinced Struts Action 1.x is the one true way, feel free to jump in and contribute. Just because Struts Ti may be right for me, it may not be for you.
