I think everyone interested has had the option of venting his opinion on the subject of checked vs. unchecked exceptions. For the record, here [1] is the relevant thread.
In order to move forward, I propose to reparent the org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException to extend org.apache.avalon.framework.CascadingRuntimeException instead of CascadingException.
The change is backward-compatible and is a one-line change that can be reverted easily, but might have implications on the way we manage exceptions in the future.
I've already performed the change locally and everything compiles. Tests fail, but they failed also before the change :-(.
So, please cast your votes.

Nicola, could you summarize the reasons for your -1?
