Yep. As I mentioned, there are other JBoss projects that are going this
route as well:

* infinispan
* drools
* jbpm
* errai

This integrations are still embraced by Seam, and may rely on Seam common
modules (i.e., solder and conversations), but the benefit is that the
integrations are kept inline with the release of the project.

We are still fleshing out the logistics of how these modules will get worked
back into Seam distributions, something we may discuss at the face-to-face.

This doesn't apply to all Seam modules, because either the module is
enhancing a spec (Seam Faces, Seam Mail), using a project more than
integrating into it (Seam International, Seam Cron), or the integrated
project just doesn't have interest or initiative yet. The relationships will
likely evolve over time.
