Putting the components into Apache Camel umbral could save some work of contributor when we release the Camel. We add the camel-extra due to the license issue only. It is hard to say no for the contributing to Apache Camel if the component has the ASF license already. That is way we have more then one hundred components today.
Current the hard part is the Stomp Component is written with Scala, as we have the camel-scala, I don't think why we can not host the camel-stomp component except few people know how to maintain it. I think few people know about jclouds, hl7,redis … but we are open mind to host these components. -- Willem Jiang Red Hat, Inc.
