Not really (my POV)

As people we naturally think in terms of the hierarchy
  ASF to Jakarta to MySubProject.
But the middle layer is artificial. It could just as well be XML or DB or
WebApps or Java or C or 'Projects starting with S' or 'Projects where Joe
Bloggs works'. There simply is no one way of categorizing, hence there
actually is no one community either. (ie. 'the jakarta community' simply
does not exist in my eyes)

The alternative is a one layer structure
   ASF to MyProject
which gives full oversight, management and confidence both to the ASF and
the ASF. Separately, there is a search website that allows searches by all
the different ways that you might want to look things up.

After all, the one layer (TLP) structure didn't harm Ant or James, and
almost certainly benefitted Maven, Avalon and from the looks of it Log4J. In
the end, actions will speak louder than words.
