I tend to agree with Gary on this one. We need to grow the community.

My other objection to moving Shale is based around it's implementation
independents.  By maintaining Shale's independence, we minimize the risk
of including a MyFaces implementation dependency, like myfaces-common,
into Shale-test. Yes, I know may of Shale's committers are MyFaces
committers.

Going forward, I would like to see Shale's sub-projects have their own
release cycle, but this discussion should be held in a different thread.
