tiles-test-sandbox and Umbrella

This is really two threads in one, but I see no reason to split up two
sentences into two threads :-)

1) What's tiles-test-sandbox for? The pom.xml calls it
tiles-test-reactor, but it's not included in the module list for the
main tiles-reactor pom.

2) As far as the "umbrella" nature of things I see how it could become
an umbrella, but to me it only happens if a community develops around
the subprojects. For example, if we start to see a lot of interest
around tiles-autotag or tiles-request that is not necessarily interest
in tiles core then we might look into splitting them off somewhere.

Thoughts?

I think that it got out of sandbox as a mistake, it has been merged long ago
for Tiles 2.2.0. It was the original attempt to test JSP, Velocity and
Freemarker in a single application.
Today it is a modular Maven project.
