GWT 2.2.0 and 3rd party MVP frameworks

GWT 2.2.0 brings radical changes in GWT: Activities, Places. Many frameworks like gwt-mvp, etc. work on older features of GWT like RPC, MVP, etc.

Are these third party frameworks deprecated? Are there any frameworks that emerged since GWT 2.2.0?

Thanks.

The third party frameworks are not automatically deprecated because google duplicated their functionality, but I will definitely prefer features built right into GWT to external libraries. The GWT team has shown a dedication and reliability to the product that I've come to trust - and I don't have time to build up that trust for 3rd parties if I don't have to!

That said, there are still some rough edges to the features that GWT has just released, and some 3rd-party frameworks may be more mature than the GWT counterparts. My feeling is that, for things I'm learning from scratch, I might as well learn the GWT things. For libraries I've been using for a long time (gwt-log, gwt-dnd), even if Google builds those straight into GWT, they will need some pretty compelling features to get me to switch my momentum.
