Conor,
I could be wrong, but I don't believe that Dion was refering to the
repository; rather he was commenting in response to my aside regarding Ant
and Maven:

Jason's reply to Greg Stein, where Greg quoted the entire antecedent, and
Jason just quoted my aside, lends further weight to my belief that the
discussion was about the projects and not the repository.
I understand some of the reasons why they aren't one project, but they are
clearly in the same space. I've heard Maven refered to as "the Ant v2 that
will never happen", indicating a perception of some people as to how the
projects relate. That naturally raises, at least in the mind of users, the
question of cooperation and co-development of those two related projects.

I wouldn't phrase it quite that way, but as long as the question is on the
table: why aren't Ant and Maven two related projects under a single PMC?
And what is underlying Jason's emotional response to that idea?
