We try to only show fully supported (both project and product, see www.jboss.org/jdf/about/roadmap) things in the quickstarts and tutorials. We also want to make sure we don't "bait-and-switch" on users.

seam-spring is not supported, and never will be. However DeltaSpike is planned to be, and will include a spring integration module. However, not yet (again see the roadmap for then this will arrive).

Hence the proposal that we don't hold up development of quickstarts, but also indicate to users that this an "experimental" feature for now.
