Unless Costin's proposal is to kick it up to the Apache PMC, then all the
Jakarta PMC has is a straight up/down vote. The scope of the project is up
to the committers on the project, not the PMC. If ${PMC-member} doesn't
like the direction, then they can work to get committer status and change
it. Jakarta isn't managed from the top-down.
If Costin's proposal is to kick it up to the Apache PMC, then that
automatically takes it outside of the scope of general@jakarta. So it is
still a straight up/down vote.
Just my $0.02.
