Also, due to the way updates are handled in RHEL systems, this will also 
be the release where JBoss Portal wil run on.

One thing we need to do as soon as possible, like next week, is to make 
sure the AS, SEAM and PORTAL teams agree on the versions of all 
thirdpart dependencies, which we will be locked into for quite some time.

We really need to have EJB3 as an external module as Dimitris suggests. 
  With its own SVN source tree, etc.
