That's something that can best to achieved by their customers
lobbying the AJAX4JSF people.
AFAIK, there's nothing to stop them specifically from adopting the
current API set - other than their reluctance to rewrite an existing
codebase. But that's based on the one link that you sent on - you'd
have to ask them directly if that's true.
Essentially this is the opposite of the RichFaces 4 plan (I agree, the
comment that this discussion is based on is ambiguous at best). Just
like ICEFaces, we intend to build RichFaces 4.0 on top of the JSF 2
Ajax API. I've asked Jay (RichFaces project lead) to blog in detail on
this to clear up the confusion :-)
From initial discussions with Alex, my understanding is JSF 2 Ajax
will account for around 70% of what was in Ajax4JSF (which IMO just
validates how complete JSF 2 Ajax is!). The remaining 20% has not been
specified (not ready yet, or no consensus or ...), and will be built
as extensions on top of JSF 2 Ajax.
HTH
