Exactly.
Who will be the next major jakarta project to ask to became a top project ? Tomcat ? Turbine ? POI ?
Probably all the big projects will.
Why would that be bad? Becoming a top-level project doesn't (necessarily) mean that the committers leave the Jakarta community.
It's certainly up to the committers of any subproject (and has always been, BTW).
Yes, definately.
It has been advocated that Jakarta remains as an aggregation point for Java-based projects, as it has always been.
Instead of depending on the Jakarta PMC, Ant will have its own, with the legal and organizational benefits that have already been discussed.
Jakarta will probably serve more in the future as a community of federated Java projects; in fact, I envision that XML.Apache projects partecipate in the Jakarta community too, like Cocoon for example.

It's not about removing Jakarta, it's about giving more organizational space to projects, legal coverage and the freedom for all Apache projects to partecipate in a wider Jakarta community.
