No, but the impact of _not_ upgrading AS4.2 with Remoting 2.2 is clearer:

1) Messaging would have been be deployed scoped for the whole of the 4.2 
series.  This means no "real" integration in the 4.2 series for messaging.

2) ESB would have been be deployed scoped for the whole of the 4.2 
series when used in app server (please correct me if I am wrong 
Kevin/Mark). Again, this means no "real" integration in the AS for the 
4.2 series assuming it is using JBM as it's default transport.

3) Remoting would be stuck at 2.0 for the whole series (or longer?). 
Since 2.2 is not compatible (acccording to Ron).

Scoping ==> useability nightmare + barrier to adoption

(AFAIK we should be able to drop remoting 2.2.0 into 4.2 without 
problems - but of course this is untested).

Also bear in mind that a heck of a lot of bugs have been fixed between 
remoting 2.0 and 2.2. So if you ship with 2.0 you're shipping with those 
bugs too.
