I personally obey it and as someone at the PMC level, then I see my job as
being to encourage you and others to obey it as well. Two wrongs don't make
a right. I personally think that the namespace for Tomcat should really be:
org.apache.tomcat
org.apache.tomcat.naming
org.apache.tomcat.jasper (at least until it is split out of the Servlet API)
Catalina itself should live within the Tomcat namespace since it is simply a
revolution that has already been voted to become Tomcat.
For a perfect example of this, I created Anakia which is used as the basis
to power our website. I placed Anakia within org.apache.velocity.anakia and
created a small documentation page for Anakia within the Velocity project.
There are several things within Turbine that could be spun out as separate
projects as well such as Torque, DB connection pool, Intake, etc...however,
I haven't found the need so far to do that...(although, it is starting to
become more clear there is a need for that)...

Then you should be suggesting another top level project be created instead
of creating a pseudo project that is half within Avalon and half within the
top level namespace.
Just like there is for Jetspeed.
