The thought behind my earlier question about the PMC, which initiated this spiral, was that having Ant and Maven under a PMC would help that effort.
Noel,
the ASF has a pretty long history of forcing people inside containers because many vocal ASF members thought along the same lines of thoughts that you (and others) are exhibiting in this thread.
Unfortunately, and jakarta shows it more than evidently, it *DOES* *NOT* work: containment doesn't more harm than good.
The board has to judge the openness of the Maven community more than anything. Jason's past comments don't help painting the picture of an open community, even if I agree with him about selectivity being natural and with Dion when he says that a community is much more than a single invidivual.
I would say 'go for it' and let darwin lead the way.
