It's a shame that this discussion is coming up after the spec is final though.  If only there had been some group of people responsible for reviewing the spec before it went final to catch this sort of thing, some sort of Group of Experts....

It's just amazing what happens once discussions are released out into the open, isn't it? You actually get participation. So it's really too bad that collaboration started so late. But at the same time, exciting that it's finally happening. Frankly, I don't really care what "state" JSF is in. To me, JSF 2.0 is but a snapshot in the long evolution that JSF has and will continue to have. If we can't change something in 2.0, then we will change it in 2.1. The point is, we need the changes and the discussions that lead up to them to happen and continue to happen. Otherwise, as David so gracefully said in his IBM series, we are just a bunch of eggheads in an ivory tower.
