Or, because it is open source, you can fix it yourself or pay someone else to fix whatever you don't like. This comment suggests you think I want something for free... We like the Seam framework a lot but we don't want to be in the business of maintaining frameworks. We are, however, paying customers of JBoss (now Red Hat) - we even sent a good number of people to JBoss world for 2 years in a row (no JBoss world this past summer :-( ) - so from my perspective, we're doing our part to be payed customers - we're not looking for a free ride. I think I would be less willing to put my vote in for Seam-specific support after watching the 1.3.0 Alpha disappear - just too much volatility in how it evolves.
