Thanks for the input. There are some good ideas there. I'll make
sure they're processed and discussed.

For what it's worth (I can't remember if I covered this in my blog
entry), the redesign is in part to make it easier to maintain and
extend, so, to a certain extent, a redesign is necessary. The exact
extent of any redesign, though, is yet to be determined. Despite all
of that, though, we'll certainly be focusing on features as well,
particularly those required by Java EE 6, as well as a number of
usability features.
