Stable forms block?

I know it has been mentioned that forms would be marked stable in 2.2, 
but that still seems a ways away.  I'm wondering what it would take to 
make that happen in 2.1.8?

Have a look at http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/22StabilizeCocoonForms

The two main things to be done that are likely to break a bit existing 
things are:
- flatten the configuration files
- remove v2 and v3 apis and make the v1 API more JS friendly.

We can safely assume this will be done before 2.1.8. At least that's one 
of my goals.

Other items are more evolutions than changes and can be done on a block 
with the stable stamp.

Right.  But the question wasn't "What has been done?". The question is, 
what must still be done before it can be marked stable?  I'm wondering 
if we aren't going a little overboard in trying to make it perfect 
before marking it stable.

CForms are almost identical in 2.1.x and 2.2. So the ongoing 
stabilization work will happen in 2.1 also. Have a look at the 2.1.7 
release notes to see what's been done in this version!
