Mo' betta' MVC Solution For All Your Web Application Needs (tm)

Now it's certainly possible that McClanahan et (Sun ?-) al are
secretly planning for JSF to "replace Struts," i.e. be a complete,
mo', betta' MVC Solution For All Your Web Application Needs(tm), and
this is all part of some elaborate double game. Alternatively, it
seems more reasonable that, longer-term,

* JSF specializes in view-space and supporting Model1- and RAD-ish tooling
* Struts specializes in control foo, e.g. struts-chain, workflow.
* SFIL continues to be maintained
* sane web frameworks specialize and maintain integration interfaces
* developers choose what makes their little hearts go pitter-pat

More reasonable to me, anyway--am I missing something?
Somebody get this Thomas Roche guy a weblog.
