I am not sure why you are jumping at specifically Sam's throath. At more than one occasion has he offered to abstain from voiting in cases like this. Most of this thread seems to be driven my a very carefully worded remark from Noel - who rightfully pointed out that there is a fair amounth of overlap in the jar repository activities, the ant building tool and the Maven building tool. And that perhaps some sort of coordination or collaboration would be good for everyone - and eventually beneficial for the whole ASF community. A board can help in a coordinating role to make these things happen. If Sam is suggesting ways for groups to work together - then I think that is good - and valuable. It reminds me of a dutch expression for which I do not know the US equivalent - such as the trust of the host is in his guests - for so much can he trust his guests.
