Although JSF is rather painful to work with, it does provide an 
interesting feature that I have taken advantage of.  JSF supports JSP 
rendering and control.  Although I'm sure it was intended as a legacy 
support feature, it does enable JSP's to work in Sakai.  Aaron Z and I 
played around with getting JSP to work in Sakai several years back, with 
limited results.  The problem is buried in the Sakai RequestFilter 
somewhere.  Regardless, JSF allows a developer to use JSP.  Another 
reason to keep JSF in Sakai and make sure that we track JSF release the 
best we can.
