Compare open-source portals by "own food" criteria

Another way to compare open-source java portals
Some time ago at Magical Coding Monkey blog comparision of open-source java portals was published. It compared 4 most popular (only available?) open-source portals (we are only talking about java portals):
The winner was JBoss Portal. Why? Read this article - really good comparision.
But, I'm suggestion to compare them by "eats its own dog food" criteria - lets looks what solutions used by these portal itself for hosting their sites:
JBoss Portal
For a long time, jboss.org site used JBoss Portal for Content Management System. But, last months they switched to Magnolia. Why? Is JBoss Portal is not good enough to host itself?
Liferay
Liferay fully hosted by using it's own portal solution. Some time ago they used php-engine for wiki - but now, as soon as own wiki implemented - it is fully based on Liferay itself.
eXo
Exo Platform site hosted on own portal solution. Good point. But they announced collaboration with JBoss - with result a new portal solution? Will it be based on JBoss or eXo? How it will be called (JBoss or eXo)? For me it looks like JBoss acquired eXo - but I may be wrong.
Jetspeed2
I do not found Apache in the list of Jetspeed2 users. Looser
Winners
Liferay and eXo won our competition. But - it is not clear about eXo Portal future (due to joining with JBoss Portal)
