To be clear, Apache Commons currently lists about 40 sub-projects. These projects are typically small and not closely related with any other sub-project in any clear way. The objection isn’t to adding more sub-projects, it is to adding more sub-projects that seem related closely enough that really belong together. However, I don’t believe anyone objected to Commons Math being a multi-module project. I would object to creating new Commons components that are forked off from Commons Math that have no maintainers. If there is code the Commons Math team doesn’t want then just get rid of it in your new version. Ralph
