True, in ASF land as in other community, it's the users and developpers base which make a solution/product successfull or forgotten.
BTW, jk 1.2.x is allready very stable and should stay like this for now :
- JK 1.2.x is now on bug-fix only mode.
- AJP_PROXY/MOD_PROXY for Apache 2.1.x (built-in)
Should we start a new AJP/JK/whatever connector is another story which has been debated this summer when we speak about mod_ajp.
We should first be very prudent since users may be puzzled by :
jk 1.2.x, jk 2.x, mod_webapp, ajp_proxy/mod_proxy, anewstufffwecouldimagine.
Since ajp_proxy/mod_proxy devel goes outside jakarta land, httpd-dev and will be present only in Apache 2.1.x, may be there is a need for a new piece of code for IIS/DOMINO/Apache1.3 or even Apache 2.x but we should list the requested features missing in jk 1.2.x....
For IIS/Domino - I think having it maintained and developed by apache is a waste. In both mod_jk and mod_jk2 we pay a significant price for trying to be "multi-server", and it seems clear this is a feature that only few people want.
If an external project wants to create an IIS connector based on mod_ajp or jk - that's great. But they should do it taking full advantage of whatever IIS provides, including consistent config, etc.
I suggest take a look about what was detailed in mod_ajp thread (July 2004) and see if a new consensus could appears.

So is JK2 dead because of proxy_ajp? Why doesn't JK2 just replace JK?
JK2 is dead because (like mod_webapp before it :), it failed to attract a community interested in maintaining it. You might as well ask 'why doesn't mod_webapp just replace JK?'
There are also technical reasons I think. Like the attempt to "object oriented C" but without using one of the existing solutions. And not droping featurea from mod_jk. But you're right - lack of community interest was the main problem.
