We've talked about eventually moving the sub-projects to TLPs, so perhaps it's more of a "future state" than a "future direction". However it's also not that cut and dry, after all the sub-project discussion and the "project split" we've actually started going the other direction in some ways, specifically, we've - Merged all the code bases to a single repository, shared more source code. - Decided to continue to release all components together. - Merged the user community to a single list. - Started YARN in the Hadoop project rather than the incubator Anyway, seems like mincing words, and a vote thread isn't a great place to discuss specifics of one particular TLP proposal. If you think the time is right for the TLP and you've got a particular proposal sounds like you should start a DISCUSS thread for that proposal. Thanks, Eli
