Yes, I checked and noticed the commit messages (on the mailing list).
Hard to pin a specific significance - detail but no insight.
The sort-of-free Sun J2EE distribution offered on the Sun site where we
get the JSDK is going to skim off a certain percentage of folks who
might otherwise look at Geronimo. At the other end (in some sense)
JBoss going to skim off another percentage. Interest in lightweight
containers might take another slice. How much does that leave?
Lack of sufficient interest is a killer for projects of this sort. So
I'm curious :-).
