Which kind of feedback do you want?
I think we need feedback from people that migrate their projects to C22. I don't 
believe it makes sense to use C22 without a Maven 2 based build. And, as I said 
in many previous mails, a distribution that can be compared to a C21 release has 
its only purpose in being a demo application, nothing more.

So yes, I think that the named artifacts are enough for a first release. 
Releasing forms, fop, javaflow, apples, batik, mail and portal should be the 
next step so that more people can start to experiment with a migration. During 
this phase we should fix their samples too.

Finally, we don't have to provide *one* release that contains all our 50+ blocks 
anymore. Luckily we can release iterativly whenever something is ready :-)
