In the company I work sometime ago it was created a fork from the branch 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/branches/BRANCH_2_1_X-dojo1_1

As far I remember someone at apache created that version to upgrade the 
DojoToolkit java script framework.

In our fork I worked to make it work in Java 1.8, then Java 11 and later 
in Java 17.

In our fork I worked to make it work the XSP as well in those java versions.

In our fork I have the Dojotoolkit updated to the version 1.17.2

There is some issue about the flowscript framework that in our fork 
still using the Rhino version rhino1.5r4-continuations-R26.jar but that 
branch was updated to the version s-1.6R5.jar but that version break our 
application.

I don't think there is people using that branch, we still have a active 
application using that, but the changes I made was mostly to make it run 
on newer java versions and some minor fixes.
