I generally want to stay out of this vote thread till it runs its course and I do appreciate the viewpoints expressed so far. Since there is a question posed here, I'll try to respond briefly below ...

The bits that may move out contribute hardly any dev traffic so it doesn't change the equation here very much. This is absolutely a good time to do this. Jakarta is now at a point where this is feasible (i.e. enough bits have moved out that the collective dev traffic is mild compared to some other projects). In doing this level of flattening, it allows us to overcome one of the biggest shortcomings of the canonical umbrella project with dev nooks and crannies. Other motivations as mentioned elsewhere. -Rahul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@jakarta.apache.org
