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.
