By "non-excalibur-community" I mean things like xmlutil, store and/or sourceresolve. I haven't been active around here for ages but when I was these were mainly (only?) maintained by Cocoon people. In the long term it would seem to make sense that you move the code to where more interested parties are likely to work on it (ie back into cocoon). The fact that cocooners had (or still have?) access to excaliburs repo did not make them a part of this community and IIRC there was no real infusion of development energy.
Just an FYI, the Source Resolve code is used by Fortress right now, so we do have reason to keep that one around for a while.
Store is a Cocoon brain child, and it very well may be replaced with something newer. Stefano has come up with an interesting idea about an in-JVM cache that has some promise, but it is mathematically complex to understand. I don't know when "eventually" will come.
XMLUtil is another beast entirely. Apparently it is very important to Cocoon, and I believe Carsten Zeigler used it in some other non-Apache work. While there are other users, I believe that Cocoon is the only Apache one.
