I think the costs (I agree: they are high) are a one-time thing, while

I expect Lucene and Solr to have long healthy lives ahead, and that
means this one-time cost will eventually be amortized and made
miniscule/negligible compared to the long-term benefits to both projects.
+1
I think that those with a primary interest in Lucene would be strongly
in favor of this split. I think the presence of Solr in the codebase
has diluted Lucene's releases, making them come far too quickly. I
would bet that without Solr, Lucene would probably be somewhere in 6.x,
not 8.x.
My personal interests are with Solr. I have little interest in Lucene
code. I think it would be beneficial in both directions to have them be
separate.
To protect against the divergence which prompted the joining of the two
codebases, I do think it would be a good idea for a few committers to
remain with both projects, but I can say unequivocally that if the
projects split, I will only want to keep those privileges on a new Solr TLP.
Thanks,
Shawn
