No I think we'll keep on supporting it (in a way?), certainly as long there is help from the community to have it tested/updated; you showed us that this is the case;

For some having the possibility to add a WAR file to exist-db adds flexibility. There are cases where I like to deploy a small war file, but I do not want to install yet-another-server. With a small configuration change it is actually possible to have it working in eXistdb....

Adam: yeah I understand the concern about memory usage etal (I showed my concerns quite often), so just like for the WAR file distribution, we need to warn users for the risks and instruct how to do things........

cheers
