I have to ask you why, because it seems to me that if this software is developed by a project's comitters as part of or in support of their project and licenced under the ASFL it should be here, and its IPR should continue to be owned by the ASF. I would think that it would have to be fairly unpopular, neglected, or badly off-topic before we considered evicting it. You wouldn't consider that a commercial company should only rely on others produce tools to support their core products, why should Jakarta not do the same thing? d.
