No problem with that, it's what e.g. Tamaya did and I also suggested earlier. In that case the logical step for this 2.0 branch would be to clean it up. IMHO (see what we succesfully do at JavaMoney, one of my ACE talks are about a "sandbox" project for Groovy) adding new languages would also bests be in a "sandbox" to see how it goes and then (with PMC vote) consider making it official.
