Um, well, I did too.

At least some of them (panelGroup, link, commandButton) are certainly 
components you should be able to use.  But I never much cared for 
panelGrid either - table layout is so 1999.  I'd like to add a warning 
message for the PDL of panelGrid that css should be used for layout - 
I'll file a spec RFE on it.

Other than panelGrid and dataTable, I don't know of any components in 
the standard group that I'd discourage folks from using.  Ken, what 
components did you have in mind as being not ready for production?
