#5) 40M is a hefty download. Here's a breakdown of each piece
in compressed size:
   * docs = 10MB
   * lib = 3MB
   * src = 6MB
   * webapp = 20MB

I hope there is a "lib" only version release too.
In fact, I would go even further and only include struts
libraries and no dependencies (1MB!). Spring does it this way. You
can download only the spring libraries, or the entire library
with all the dependencies (what we have now in this snapshot).
I vote for a struts-only lib artifact too.

I added a struts + dependencies assembly in http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs?rev=404796&view=rev .

I'm fine with a struts-only library distribution, if someone would like to modify the 'lib.xml' assembly descriptor. However, it's only 3MB (compared to the 40+ MB "all" distribution) and IMO the struts jars aren't very useful without the dependencies.

Spring has *considerably* more dependencies than we do -- if they tried a spring + dependencies distribution, it would probably be bigger than our full distro. :)
